Madrid would tempt Laudrup Swansea defender Angel Rangel believes Michael Laudrup would find it hard to turn down Real Madrid if the Spanish giants approached him.
Laudrup has recently been linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu side amid ongoing rumours that coach Jose Mourinho could leave the club at the end of the season.
And Rangel feels the prospect of a move to Madrid could prove to be too much of a temptation to resist for the Swansea manager.
"Laudrup deserves all the plaudits he gets, he is having an incredible season," Rangel said.
"Let's not forget that he was once a Real Madrid player, he has a big figure in world football and if the opportunity arose, it would be difficult for Swansea to keep him here.

Getafe 1:1 Real zaragoza Getafe moved up to eighth spot in La Liga, with a 2-0 win at home to Real Zaragoza on Friday.
The Coliseum Alfonso Perez hosts went ahead on 21 minutes via Adrian Colunga, before Sergio Escudero sealed the points just beyond the hour mark.
Assist provider for Getafe's first goal Pedro Leon, however, was dismissed just after they gained their two-goal advantage.
But Leon's dismissal - he picked up two yellow cards in as many minutes - only offset the red given to Zaragoza defender Glenn Loovens only minutes earlier.
Neither side could produce the goods in front of goal with 10 men, and Getafe eased to their third win in succession.
Zaragoza have now lost three of their past four to be e

Napoli 1:1 Juventus Juventus remain six points clear at the Serie A summit after being held to a 1-1 draw by Scudetto rivals Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo.
Antonio Conte's men looked poised to take a giant step towards retaining their title after taking an early lead through Giorgio Chiellini, but Gokhan Inler's deflected drive drew the home side level just before the break.
Napoli looked the slightly more pinching victory during the second period but Juventus held on quite comfortably to keep their nearest challengers at bay in the title race.
The only pre-match doubt Conte had was whether to start Chiellini, who took a knock to his ankle against Siena last weekend. He decided to take a gamble on the Italy international - and it paid off spectacularly j
