The Manchester City Star Who Offers Himself to Real Madrid: 'Thanks, but...'

It's normal to think that Real Madrid's project is one of the most exciting at the moment in the world of soccer. Therefore, several players are attracted to the sports project that the white team has been creating for years. In this case, it seems that one of the most interesting players from Manchester City has offered himself to Real Madrid.

We are referring to the Swiss central defender Manuel Akanji, who seems to have full interest in being part of the Spanish institution. Clearly, this addition could be very good for what Real Madrid needs in the defensive sector. Moreover, at 29 years old, he still has a lot of future to perform at the highest level.

However, perhaps in the matter of development on the part of the whites, he doesn't quite fit into the team's plan. Therefore, the decision rests exclusively with Florentino Pérez on whether Akanji could be a signing for the club.

Offers Himself to Real Madrid

This player has been one of Pep Guardiola's essential pieces in recent years in the British team. His performance has been outstanding since his arrival in 2022 from Dortmund, where he also had very good references.

Almost since his arrival, he established himself as one of Guardiola's main starters to date, therefore, his departure would be painful. However, with a contract in force until 2027, perhaps this year is the last option to take economic advantage of him.

Right now, his market value is approximately 32 million euros, but this could become more expensive when leaving the Premier. Real Madrid's sports project doesn't currently contemplate players like Akanji, both due to age and development. Therefore, it is very likely that this player's option will be discarded.

Depends on Florentino

For the umpteenth time, Florentino Pérez will be in charge of deciding the future of both the white club and this player. However, as previously stated, Akanji doesn't seem to be one of the names on Real Madrid's priority list.
