Real Madrid’s recruitment head, Juni Calafat, is reportedly leading the charge in Real Madrid’s pursuit of Manchester City’s Phil Foden.
According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid is considering making a move for the 23-year-old English international during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Foden has enjoyed a stellar season with Manchester City, highlighted by his standout performance last weekend against archrivals Manchester United, where he scored two goals.
As a seasoned player for Manchester City, Foden’s potential is still growing, and under the guidance of manager Pep Guardiola, he continues to excel. So far, he has scored 11 goals and provided seven assists in the Premier League this season, matching his previous campaign’s goal tally.
Despite Real Madrid’s interest, convincing Foden to leave Manchester City may prove challenging. As one of the wealthiest clubs globally, Manchester City has little incentive to part ways with one of their key players.
Foden’s versatility as an attacking midfielder or winger would be a valuable addition for Real Madrid, who are looking to bolster their attacking options. The club is also rumored to be considering Kylian Mbappe as another potential target.
With players like Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, and recent signing Jude Bellingham already in their ranks, Real Madrid aims to build a formidable team of top talents for the future.
While it seems unlikely that Foden will join Real Madrid to team up with Bellingham, football history has seen unexpected transfers occur. Real Madrid’s reputation for attracting top players presents a compelling proposition, making it challenging to reject their advances.
