As Real Madrid look to rebuild balance in their midfield, fresh reports from Defensa Central suggest they are closely tracking developments around Manchester City’s Tijjani Reijnders.
As per the outlet, Real Madrid are actively monitoring the Dutch midfielder’s situation at the Etihad Stadium, with the possibility of a move gaining attention inside the club.
It must be noted that reinforcing the midfield has been marked as a priority, especially after an inconsistent campaign where control and creativity have often been missing.
Several high-profile names have already been linked with the club in recent months, including Rodri and Enzo Fernandez, while emerging talents like Kees Smith have also been considered.
However, Reijnders has worked his way back into the conversation, and this time, the interest appears more concrete.
The Dutch international, who joined Manchester City from AC Milan for around €60 million, could be on the move just a year after his arrival.

At the time, the club hierarchy chose to delay that plan. Now, though, the approach seems to be shifting.
With Madrid still searching for the right mix in midfield, the need for a player who can control tempo and link play has become clear.
Reijnders fits that profile well. He is known for his technical ability, composure on the ball, and intelligence in tight spaces.
One of his biggest strengths is his flexibility, as Reijnders is comfortable operating in a double pivot, which could make him an ideal partner for Aurelien Tchouameni.
His presence would allow Madrid to maintain defensive strength while adding creativity and forward movement from deeper areas.
At 27, he is entering his prime years, and that experience could be valuable for a squad looking to regain midfield control.
