Real Madrid favourites to sign Manchester City star in surprise move

Real Madrid favourites to sign Manchester City star in surprise move Real Madrid are one of several clubs keeping tabs on the situation at Manchester City, who were recently found guilty of serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial regulations. If severely punished, the vast majority of their players could be put on the market, which would represent a golden opportunity for those at the Bernabeu. As expected, Erling Haaland is one of the players that Real Madrid would want to sign if Man City were punished, but he is not the only one. They also sense an opportunity to sign Thibaut Courtois’ successor, which has been difficult for them up until now. According to TEAMtalk , Real Madrid are currently considered favourites to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian goalkeeper, who is seven years younger than Courtois, is widely considered to be one of the best in the world in his position, although his possible arrival at the Bernabeu would still be somewhat of a surprise. Courtois unlikely to leave Real Madrid anytime soon It would be very unlikely that Real Madrid have Courtois and Donnarumma on their books at the same time, and given that the former has no plans to leave for at least another few years , it would be surprising if the club tried to sign an established player, rather than someone that could act as a backup first before taking over the gloves. Nevertheless, Real Madrid could take advantage of a possible market opportunity with Donnarumma, in which case it would be less of a surprise if they tried to sign him. However, it would be interesting to see how they would manage that situation, given it’s unlikely that Courtois would be forced out, given that he is arguably the best goalkeeper in the world – and has been for many years. But for now, it’s simply a case of what if.
