Despite the interference of Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid are still confident of signing AIK Solna's wunderkind Aleksander Isak.
Last Wednesday, a hotel had already been booked for the player, ready for the agreement with Los Blancos to be signed however, thanks to backtracking by the player's agents and Dortmund's late move, the hotel booking was never used.
The hierarchy at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu want to land the 17-year-old striker, who has been called the new Zlatan, and had advanced to MARCA details of what had previously been agreed by all parties.
Only the signatures are needed for the deal to be rubber-stamped and even as late as last Wednesday, Real still expected the player to take his seat at the Bernabeu for the Copa del Rey game against Celta Vigo.
The situation at this moment now depends solely and exclusively on Real Madrid accepting the new conditions that have been put on the table.
At first the agreement was for 7.8 million euros, an amount that the Borussia Dortmund is willing to surpass.
From Sweden, it's been said that the player is more interested in getting game time immediately, something that Real can't offer, but the reality suggests an economic interference by the German club.
If Los Blancos can surpass Dortmund's financial proposal, there will not be a problem in closing the deal for a striker who is already the image for Adidas in Sweden in spite of his youth.
Everything will be solved in the next few days, Dortmund happy to incorporate him immediately, while Real would leave him at AIK Solna until the end of this season, because they are still under a transfer ban imposed by FIFA.
