Real Madrid targets Ruben Dias alongside Josko Gvardiol from Manchester City

Real Madrid is pursuing Ruben Dias of Manchester City as they seek an elite centre-back. Following recent leadership changes within the club, the club's president, Florentino Perez, and newly appointed manager, Jose Mourinho, are reportedly interested in Dias, who has a contract until 2029. His potential transfer, however, faces challenges as Manchester City is expected to resist any overtures.
