Nico O Reilly, currently with Manchester City , is the latest name linked with a potential switch to Real Madrid. The midfielder could become a key signing should the move materialise, as the club seeks to strengthen in a key area of the pitch. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Lyon decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. So far this season, Real Madrid are steady at both ends (2.08 goals scored per game, 0.85 goals conceded per game). The role for Nico O Reilly would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Manchester City have also been linked with Felix Nmecha, Joao Neves and Jack Hinshelwood while Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring Archie Gray, Gabriel Magalhaes and Alexis MacAllister.
