It\u2019s no secret that both Barcelona and Real Madrid will explore the signing of a new central defender during this summer\u2019s transfer window. They\u2019re each keen to solve their defensive woes with the addition of a new recruit, so it is no surprise that they\u2019ve established similar targets.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the year, Borussia Dortmund and Germany star Nico Schlotterbeck was wanted by both clubs, although their interest has since dropped after he signed a new contract. Instead, they\u2019ve turned their attention to the Premier League \u2013 and more specifically, Manchester City.<\/p>\n
According to CaughtOffside<\/a>, Josko Gvardiol is open to leaving Man City in wake of Pep Guardiola\u2019s exit, and among the clubs interested in his services are the El Clasico rivals. The 24-year-old, who has previously offered himself to the Bernabeu club<\/a>, is also on the agenda of Bayern Munich, who want to return him to Germany three years after he left RB Leipzig for Manchester.<\/p>\n \n Back in 2023, Man City paid \u20ac90m to sign Gvardiol, but while he has generally done well during his time at the Etihad Stadium, it\u2019s reported that the Premier League side would be prepared to accept a fee in the region of \u20ac75m, which could be a market opportunity for a player that has regularly shown his quality in England.<\/p>\n Currently, it\u2019s reported that Gvardiol is not a priority for either Real Madrid or Barcelona. The former are yet to make a final decision on who to target during the summer transfer window, whereas the Catalans are looking at forwards instead \u2013 they\u2019re close to a deal for Anthony Gordon, and a new striker would be their next step once that\u2019s complete.<\/p>\n It will be very interesting to see if Real Madrid or Barcelona make a move for Gvardiol in the summer, but there\u2019s little doubt that he would be a top addition for either club.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Barcelona and Real Madrid competing to sign \u20ac75m Manchester City star<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s no secret that both Barcelona and Real Madrid will explore the signing of a new central defender during this summer\u2019s transfer window.…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6629,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6627"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6627"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6627\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6628,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6627\/revisions\/6628"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Man City ready to take a loss on Gvardiol<\/h2>\n
