Real Madrid Eyes England International star for Midfield Reinforcement”
Real Madrid currently boasts one of the most formidable midfield units in the world of football. However, with some uncertainty surrounding the future of certain midfielders, potential departures might prompt the club to consider strengthening this area. Luka Modric, now 38 years old and seeing reduced playing time, is likely to move on after this season. Additionally, Toni Kroos and Dani Ceballos have been linked with possible departures.
If Real Madrid faces the departure of one or more midfielders, they could be in the market for an addition in that position. It appears that an England international has caught their attention.
Kalvin Phillips, who made a significant move from Leeds United to Manchester City, has seen limited playing time and is reportedly seeking a transfer. According to Tutto Juve, Real Madrid has expressed interest in Phillips, with Manchester City seeking a transfer fee of approximately €50 million for the English midfielder.
Phillips may not have established himself at Manchester City, but his quality is unquestionable, particularly at the international level with England. He played a crucial role in England’s journey to the EURO 2020 final.
Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid would be willing to meet Manchester City’s €50 million valuation for a player who might potentially have a squad role if signed. Currently, Real Madrid’s midfield appears to be set for the foreseeable future, with young talents like Jude Bellingham, Aurelien Tchouameni, Fede Valverde, and Eduardo Camavinga expected to play at a high level for many years to come
