The transfer mill is churning once again, with Real Madrid believed to be lining up a move for Miguel Gutierrez, the defender from Leverkusen. Sources close to the club suggest they are exploring options to reinforce their squad ahead of the run-in. While Real Madrid and Leverkusen continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Manchester United and Leverkusen reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. Real Madrid's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.14 goals per game (8 in 7). Miguel Gutierrez would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Real Madrid have recently been linked with Jarell Quansah, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Finn Jeltsch while Leverkusen have had no rumoured targets. Need more Real Madrid transfer rumours?
