Despite having many quality midfielders in their squad, Real Madrid’s President, Florentino Perez, is working intensively to provide the Italian coach with a high-caliber name as a replacement for Toni Kroos.
The most sought-after name is Brazilian Bruno Guimaraes.
For two seasons now, the Brazilian “destroyer,” who is part of Newcastle in the Premier League and the “Selecao” national team, has been on the radar. According to the latest reports from Spanish media, the European champions have begun working on acquiring Guimaraes, for whom the English “Magpies” are demanding 120 million euros.
However, the asking price is not the only problem, as Pep Guardiola also wants the Latin player for his Manchester City. Nevertheless, Perez has shown in the past that he does not easily fail when he is determined to buy a player and is expected to do everything possible to bring the Brazilian to the Spanish capital.
