In recent times, Real Madrid has been associated with a number of Manchester City players. The fact that the Treble victors possess the most formidable squad in Europe ought not to significantly perturb this conclusion. The associations with Erling Haaland have undeniably persisted for an extended period of time and are likely to persist for the foreseeable future, given his astounding rate of scoring.

Conversely, Julian Alvarez appears to be a player that Los Blancos are also monitoring. In his debut season with Manchester City, the Argentine World Cup champion struggled to earn starting roles. However, he appears to have solidified his position as a crucial player this season.

Therefore, it is comprehensible that rumors would circulate associating Real Madrid with those two individuals. The recent rumors regarding another Manchester City player, however, have perplexed a great number of supporters.

Kalvin Phillips has been linked to them, according to rumors. TuttoJuve reports that Manchester City is interested in a transfer to Real Madrid as well as the current highest bidder, Newcastle United. It is also believed that Juventus is intrigued in the Englishman.

Real Madrid leads the €50 million sweepstakes. Phillips, a midfielder for Manchester City, was acquired by the club for an estimated transfer fee of €50 million. Since then, the England international has appeared infrequently for them.

Therefore, his impending release by Manchester City would not come as a surprise. Conversely, Real Madrid currently possess what is arguably the finest midfield unit in all of international football.

Therefore, it would not be rational for them to pay a substantial transfer fee for a player who will, at best, contribute to the squad. It is difficult to envision Phillips surpassing players such as Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, Fede Valverde, or Eduardo Camavinga.
