Manchester City defender Ruben Dias has decided to leave the Etihad Stadium in the current summer transfer window following Pep Guardiola's departure from the club. The Portuguese footballer has instructed his agent to find a new team. Reports suggest that Dias feels unsettled due to technical changes at the club and the head coach's exit. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
The 29-year-old center-back joined Manchester City in 2020 and has made 255 appearances in all competitions since then. Although his current contract runs until 2029, it is said that the club could let him go for approximately 60 million euros. This situation has alerted several European giants.
Currently, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and PSG are closely monitoring the player's situation. In particular, the Real Madrid management sees Ruben Dias as an ideal leader to replace veteran defenders like David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger. There is also information that the Madrid club is interested in Dias's teammate Josko Gvardiol.
Manchester City finished second in the Premier League last season behind Arsenal. During the coaching transition, the club is trying to retain its key assets. However, losing two important players in the defensive line after Pep Guardiola's departure could be a serious blow for the club.
Currently, Ruben Dias is focusing on the Portugal national team. He has been included in the 26-man squad that will compete against DR Congo, Uzbekistan, and Colombia in the World Cup group stage.
