Maria Arreghini, the glamorous TV host for Real Madrid, has revealed her admiration for a specific England player, expressing her desire to see him join the La Liga giants.
Following Real Madrid`s successful acquisition of Jude Bellingham in 2023, there are speculations about potentially adding Trent Alexander-Arnold to their squad in the upcoming summer transfer window.
However, Maria, a devoted fan and presenter for the club, has expressed interest in another English player who could potentially transition from the Premier League to European football.
In an exclusive interview, the 26-year-old social media personality revealed to SunSport her desire to see Chelsea`s talented midfielder, Cole Palmer, join Real Madrid.
When asked about which England player she would choose to play at the Bernabeu, she stated: "That's an interesting question. I would choose Cole Palmer as an attacking midfielder.
"He's very young, talented, and an exciting player. He could have a bright future at Real Madrid.
"Perhaps in the future, he could be a replacement for [Luka] Modric when he retires."
Cole Palmer has made a significant impact since his move to Chelsea in the summer of 2023, scoring 39 goals and providing 23 assists in 80 appearances for the club.
He has also showcased his talent on the international stage, scoring a goal in the Euro 2024 final last summer.
More England players will have the opportunity to impress Real Madrid when Carlo Ancelotti`s team faces Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday night.
Maria will be closely observing the upcoming match, both as a Real Madrid supporter and as part of their TV broadcasting team.
The Italian-born presenter recently joined Real Madrid TV as a host, having publicly declared her support for the club in October.
Since starting her role in January, she has frequently shared behind-the-scenes content on social media, showcasing her presenting work at both the training facilities and the prestigious Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
In addition to her TV appearances, Maria also hosts her own sports program, where she covers boxing and football.
She has even hosted prominent figures on her podcast, including boxer Ryan Garcia, musician Will.i.am, former Premier League player Adel Taarabt, and former motorcyclist Jorge Lorenzo.
Maria`s background includes a decade of competitive swimming and a degree in journalism, which paved the way for her career in sports media.
Outside of her professional life, she has a significant presence on Instagram with 698,000 followers, where she regularly shares captivating photos.
