Real Madrid are eyeing up a potential January transfer swoop for Savinho of Man City. They are impressed by his recent performances.
Over the last few years, Real Madrid have had a knack for signing the best players in the world. Last summer, they signed Kylian Mbappe and the summer before, they brought Jude Bellingham.
So, Real Madrid are fostering some of the globe's best players right now. However, Florentino Perez is one of those presidents who is proud but never satisfied. It is this ability to always look ahead which has resulted in Real Madrid dominating the way they have.
If recent transfer news is anything to go by, then Real Madrid might take an asset away from one of their biggest European competitors, Man City...
Real Madrid eye shock January transfer for €40m Man City star
According to a report from Caught Offside, both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have been closely scouting Savinho recently. The report states that Real Madrid have been impressed and they could even test Man City's resolve with a transfer bid this month.
This is despite Man City only welcoming Savinho to Manchester in the summer. Just halfway through the season, Los Blancos are ambitious enough to ponder a deal.
Now, it remains to be seen if Man City would be open to parting ways with Savinho. They paid a €40m fee to bring him to the Etihad Stadium, so there might be scope for the Citizens to make an immediate profit on him.
This season, both Man City and Real Madrid have failed to exit first gear. While they both remain within promising positions, both clubs should really be ahead of their respective domestic leagues by a considerable distance.
So, Savinho might imagine a better future for himself at Real Madrid. Of course, this speculation remains exactly that at this stage; speculation. Whether Savinho to Real Madrid comes into fruition will become more obvious if Real Madrid actually do test Man City's resolve.
