Manchester City have joined Real Madrid in the hunt for Brazilian prodigy Gui Ruck, who will leave Real Valladolid on a free in the summer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the potential availability of Real Valladolid talent Gui Ruck has clubs scrambling for his signature. Manchester City have joined the race for the 2009-born Brazilian prodigy, with Real Madrid already placing themselves well in the pursuit.
Real Madrid and the Penchant for Signing Top Young Talent
Florentino Perez has placed a larger emphasis on shoring up the youth ranks and, in general, on bringing young players to strengthen the Real Madrid first team. In recent years, the Real Madrid supremo has spent considerable sums securing talents like Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, and Aurelien Tchouameni.
Before that, Perez had seen success with some Brazilian endeavours after helping Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes rise through the ranks. During the summer, the Real Madrid chief beat massive competition in the race for Turkish talent Arda Guler, and he would like to continue on this journey with another player in mind.
Guilherme Ruck: The New Kid on the Block
Real Valladolid’s 2009-born Brazilian prodigy Gui Ruck emerged on Real Madrid’s radar, with the 14-year-old potentially available on a free transfer. The Merengues will likely have to pay a modest compensation fee. But beyond that, Perez had his path set towards bringing him.
However, Manchester City have now joined the chase for the highly-rated Valladolid prospect, with the Premier League giants always looking out for talents to shore up their youth squads. For instance, they are preparing to make an offer for Francesco Camarda, the 15-year-old talent from AC Milan, who recently became the youngest-ever player to debut in Serie A.
Similarly, Tristan Aldcroft Panduro, the 15-year-old Danish talent, remains a target as they search for the best talents in the youth market. Gui Ruck’s potential availability on a free transfer when his contract expires in the summer will have Manchester City looking closely at him.
However, they know the task ahead is difficult, considering Real Madrid are firmly chasing the 2009-born Brazilian prodigy. Usually, in Spain, young players dream about joining Real Madrid or Barcelona. Still, in recent times, Manchester City have become the torch bearer for developing young talents to their best abilities.
Hence, this is a race to watch closely, as Fabrizio Romano, also named Paris Saint-Germain in the running for Gui Ruck. In all likeliness, the race might come down to a battle between Real Madrid and Manchester City, with the former somewhat ahead in the hunt.
