One potential departure from Manchester City could create an issue of its own

One potential departure from Manchester City could create an issue of its own It has been reported that the future of Ruben Dias attempted Manchester City is in doubt. Sam Lee has reported for The Athletic that Real Madrid have an interest in signing Manchester City’s defensive leader, who is thought to be a player that could leave City this summer. It remains to be seen if Real Madrid will pursue a move for Ruben Dias this summer. However, if City did sell Dias, it would create a leadership void at the club. That is an issue that surely City want to avoid occurring as they enter their next iteration after Pep Guardiola’s reign as manager. Real Madrid are reportedly prepared to spend big money to sign Ruben Dias. Jeremy Cross has also reported on Real Madrid’s interest in signing Ruben Dias this summer for The Mirror . Cross reports that Jose Mourinho wants to add Manchester City’s defensive leader to his squad. Also, it is reported that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is determined to back new manager Jose Mourinho in the transfer market this summer. Furthermore, Cross reports that Real Madrid are prepared to pay £80 million to sign Ruben Dias from Manchester City. Cross adds that City do not want to lose Ruben Dias. He is seen as an important player at the club and City manager Enzo Maresca views Dias as integral to his future plans. Manchester City cannot afford to lose too many leaders this summer. It may turn out that Ruben Dias holds the key to his future. If he does wish to seek a new challenge and wants a move to Real Madrid, it is unlikely that Manchester City would stand in his way. Especially if Real Madrid are prepared to pay £80 million for the Portuguese international. However, there is another side to the equation. City cannot afford to lose too many leaders in their squad. Manchester City have already lost key leaders in Bernardo Silva and John Stones. Pep Guardiola has also left his post as City manager. With a new era underway at the club, City need leaders like Ruben Dias in their midst. Dias may face competition for his spot in Manchester City’s defence next season, but his leadership, presence and experience will be vital. If Manchester City lose that, there will be a leadership void in their squad that has to be filled. How that would be filled isn’t immediately clear. Ruben Dias has once again been linked with a move to Real Madrid. Manchester City do not want to lose Ruben Dias this summer, Jeremy Cross has reported. City will not want to lose any more leaders this summer and Ruben Dias certainly falls into that category.
