According to Africafoot, Real Madrid is closely interested in Christian Kofane and is attempting to sign the young Cameroonian striker. It has been reported that initial contact has been made with the player's entourage as well as with Leverkusen officials, but that no concrete progress has been made so far. A member of Christian Kofane's staff confirmed Real Madrid's interest, noting that this interest should still lead to discussions. Bayer Leverkusen is being inflexible and does not intend to sell its young Cameroonian talent for less than 50 million euros.

'Sky' has provided information that a Madrid club is seriously interested in the 19-year-old striker from Bayer Leverkusen. The report states that the Royals wanted to bring Kofane to the Spanish capital in the summer, with an initial plan for him to join the second team, Castilla, but Leverkusen's intervention was successful. The striker is not for sale in the winter, according to 'Sky'. For a transfer in the summer, the Spanish top club would need to spend a significant amount, and the pay-TV channel states that Leverkusen is considering a transfer fee exceeding 50 million.
