It is known that the scouting department of the “Whites” is actively monitoring the player. The goal-scoring Ukrainian has attracted the attention of Real’s head scout, Juny Kalafat. He sees great potential in the native of Lutsk and notes his similarity to Erling Haaland.

Real plans to observe the striker’s development dynamics. If the young player has a successful 2025/2026 season, the “Whites” will make every effort for his transfer in the summer of 2026.

As a reminder, Stepanov is currently playing on loan for Nuremberg.
