Juni Calafat, who is in charge of recruitment for Real Madrid, is apparently leading the charge in the club’s campaign to acquire Phil Foden, who is now playing for Manchester City.
At the upcoming summer transfer window, Real Madrid is reportedly contemplating making a move for the English international player, who is currently 23 years old. This information comes from Defensa Central.
Foden has had a fantastic season with Manchester City, which was underlined by his outstanding performance against Manchester United, their bitter rivals, last weekend, in which he scored two goals.
In spite of the fact that Foden is already an experienced player for Manchester City, his potential is still expanding, and coach Pep Guardiola is ensuring that he continues to perform exceptionally well. This season in the Premier League, he has already scored 11 goals and contributed seven assists, which is the same number of goals he scored in the previous season.
There is a possibility that convincing Foden to leave Manchester City will be difficult, despite the fact that Real Madrid is interested. Given that Manchester City is one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, there is little incentive for the club to part ways with one of their most important players.
Real Madrid, who are trying to strengthen their attacking options, will benefit greatly from the arrival of Foden because of his versatility as an attacking midfielder or winger. There are also rumors that the club is mulling over Kylian Mbappe as a possible target for potential acquisition.
Real Madrid is working toward the goal of constructing a formidable team of elite talents for the future. Players such as Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, and Jude Bellingham, who was just recently signed, are already a part of their roster.
It is quite improbable that Foden will join Real Madrid in order to form a partnership with Bellingham; yet, throughout the history of football, there have been instances of unexpected transfers. There is a strong pitch presented by Real Madrid’s reputation for luring top players, which makes it difficult to say no to their offers.
