Overview
- Reports on Sunday, August 16, 2026, say Real Madrid, Atletico and Barcelona have Smit on their radar while Premier League clubs have also shown interest.
- Smit is represented by super-agent Jorge Mendes, who is helping to evaluate opportunities and manage the timing of any move.
- Multiple outlets place Smit’s market valuation at roughly €60 million, a fee that makes him affordable compared with some elite young midfielders.
- Barcelona are keeping tabs but are prioritizing a potential Rodri deal, Real Madrid view their squad as largely complete, and Atletico previously had a winter approach rejected by AZ.
- Smit has said he would welcome a move to Spain but has not ruled out staying at AZ for another season with a transfer possible in 2027, which would let him keep playing regularly and develop further.
