Real Madrid: Rojiblancos are interested in a prominent star from Manchester City!

Real Madrid might be in for an unexpected defensive reinforcement, as Manchester City's Joško Gvardiol has reportedly been floated as a potential signing for the Spanish giants.

According to AS, it was intermediaries who brought the Croatian's name to the attention of Los Blancos' leadership. Despite dealing with injuries this season, the 24-year-old has still managed to feature in 24 matches for the Cityzens, finding the net twice and delivering five assists along the way.

The Madrid club has long had plans to shore up their central defense during the upcoming summer transfer window, and now the Croatian international has surfaced as a serious possibility. In recent weeks, other defensive targets like William Saliba, Ibrahima Konaté, and Nico Schlotterbeck have also been mentioned, though securing any of those names appears far more difficult at this point.
