Santiago Gimenez is being urged to leave Feyenoord.
The Mexico international is being tracked by Arsenal and Real Madrid, among several European heavyweights.
Mexican legend Hugo Sanchez told ESPN: Santi has the capabilities to succeed.
If I were him, I would make a transfer as soon as possible. To a big club. If there is an offer from a big club, already in the winter."
On Gimenez following him in signing for Real Madrid, Sanchez also said: Well, there are rumours.
You just have to see what's right about that. But if an offer really comes, I would love it if he went to a big club in Spain."
