Real Madrid plot summer move for €60m-rated Man City star to fix midfield issues – report

Notably, Real Madrid had already shown interest in him last summer, particularly when Xabi Alonso pushed for the signing of a natural midfielder.

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.
