According to reports from Diario AS, Real Madrid have launched a serious offensive to secure the services of Manchester City defender Josko Guardiola.
The Croatian defender, who is considered one of the most complete talents in European football, has been actively offered a potential move to Madrid.
President Florentino Perez sees him as an ideal reinforcement for a defensive unit that has suffered from absences and injuries.
Guardiola’s ability to play as a centre-back and as a left-back makes him a very valuable profile for Real Madrid’s tactical schemes.
However, Manchester City have no intention of facilitating his departure.
The English club is expected to offer him a new and much improved contract, especially after the departure of coach Pep Guardiola, aiming to maintain the stability of the team.
Despite the player’s desire for a possible transfer to Madrid, negotiations are expected to be lengthy and are not expected to be finalized before the start of the World Cup.
