It is not known how much Real Madrid will demand for the 27-year-old, but he has a release clause upwards of £800m, and three years remaining on his contract.
Josko Gvardiol wants to leave Man City
According to as.com, Gvardiol has offered himself to Real Madrid, and should Florentino Perez be re-elected as club president, the defender would become a potential transfer target.
Gvardiol’s desire to depart Man City is said to be because of Pep Guardiola’s exit – the man who insisted on signing him in the first place.
While the 24-year-old only has two years remaining on his contract, the Citizens are unwilling to make a loss.
Therefore, they will look to recoup at least the £77.6m it cost to bring the star to the Etihad Stadium three years ago.
Florentino Perez is planning a £130m signing
According to Fabrizio Romano, current Los Blancos president Perez is looking to spend £130m on an unknown player.
When asked about members of the Man City squad, he said: “The official €150m bid will not be for Erling Haaland.”

He added: “Jeremy Doku? No. The €150m bid won’t be for him.”
Perez later confirmed this would be a Cristiano Ronaldo or Kaka level attacking player, who does not currently play in the Premier League.
Real Madrid’s Rodri links continue
While Perez is obviously not referring to Rodri, he is the most likely of Man City’s players to join Real Madrid this summer.
City have no plans to sell Rodri, but the Spaniard himself has not ruled out an exit from the club this summer.
With only 12 months remaining on his contract, the 29-year-old would be well placed to force his departure, and Real Madrid are the club who keep being mentioned as his next move.
