<!--Article Start--> <h2 style="text-align: justify">Real Madrid were interested in Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti but now have shifted their interest towards Juventusa Arturo Vidal and Monacoa s Kondogbia.</h2> <p style="text-align: justify">After a disappointing season marred with injuries, <strong><a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/category/la-liga-2/real-madrid/">Real Madrid</a></strong> are looking at various reinforcements to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season. Carlo Ancelottia s predecessor, Rafael Benitez is believed to be interested in signing a winger, forward and a midfielder. Among the three positions, the central midfield area requires the most attention as last season two fatal injuries to Luka Modric saw a major drop in the Spanish giantsa performances.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">It was believed earlier that Real Madrid were highly interested in signing <strong>Marco Verratti</strong> from <strong>Paris Saint-Germain</strong>. But the Italian is no longer on their radar as PSG have developed a keen interest in Reala s star forward, Cristiano Ronaldo. Los Blancos have no intensions of selling the Portuguese and they would want to avoid complications that PSG might raise for Verrattia s signature. . <a href="http://as.com/diarioas/2015/06/12/english/1434103514_159936.html">According to AS.com</a>, Real Madrid have instead shifted their focus to <strong><a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/category/serie-a-2/juventus/">Juventus</a></strong> midfielder <strong>Arturo Vidal</strong> and <strong>AS</strong> <strong>Monaco</strong> midfielder <strong>Geoffrey Kondogbia</strong>.</p> <p style="text-align: justify"><strong><em><a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/kondogbia-agent-reveals-interest-from-real-madrid-inter-juventus-and-manchester-city/">Also read: Kondogbia agent reveals interest from Real Madrid, Inter, Juventus and Manchester City</a></em></strong>.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Arturo Vidal is one of the worlda s best midfielders and the Chilean will fit in perfectly at Real Madrid. Vidal is physically strong and also one of the best while attacking. Vidal is a world-class player but signing the Juve midfielder will pose problems for Kroos and Modric as the Serie A winner will not be satisfied with a bench-warmera s role. On the other hand, Monacoa s Kondogbia is a budding talent. The Frenchman is only 22-years old and brimming with potential. Kondogbia is a promising talent and will provide stability playing a deeper role in the midfield. The Monaco player may even accept the role of playing as a back-up to Kroos and Modric and providing support to the defence by coming on as a substitute. <!--Article End--></p>
