Joško Gvardiol is Mourinho and Real's Next Target

Manchester City's central defender, Joško Gvardiol, has emerged as Real Madrid's latest major transfer target. In recent days, the royal club has been actively strengthening its defensive line at the behest of incoming manager José Mourinho. The Whites have already all but secured Ibrahima Konaté, who arrives as a free agent from Liverpool, and Denzel Dumfries, for whom Real will pay Inter 20 million euros.

According to Alberto Pereiro of “Onda Cero,” Mourinho is keen for the club to sign Gvardiol. Florentino Pérez also considers the Croatian the best option for the position at present. His significant advantage is his ability to perform effectively as a left-sided defender.

Reports indicate that Real Madrid is prepared to pay 75 million euros for the 24-year-old Croatian international.
