- Real Madrid are hunting for a new centre-back ahead of next season
- Ruben Dias has become a target alongside Manchester City teammate Josko Gvardiol
- The 29-year-old Portugal defender is open to a move away from the Etihad Stadium
- Paris Saint-Germain are also monitoring Dias’s situation
Real Madrid are now looking at Manchester City captain Ruben Dias as they try to fix their defence. The Spanish club have already tried to sign Josko Gvardiol, but now they want his teammate too.
The La Liga giants need new defenders after two poor seasons. Their search has faced problems, with moves for Marc Guehi, Dayot Upamecano and Nico Schlotterbeck all failing. Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate will also stay at Anfield after signing a new contract.
This leaves Real Madrid looking for other options. Dias has become a real target, with reports saying the 29-year-old wants to leave the Premier League champions. The Portugal star wants a new challenge after Pep Guardiola left, and he has told his agent to find him a new club.
French champions Paris Saint-Germain are also watching the situation. However, Real Madrid rarely pay high prices for players who are nearly 30. Dias may need to ask for a transfer or push for a cheap deal if he wants to join Real Madrid this summer.
