Real Madrid have revived their interest in a Manchester City midfielder ahead of next summer. The club are once again monitoring the situation closely.
The Los Blancos are actively searching for a deep lying midfielder. Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić have both departed in recent seasons and Madrid didn’t sign replacements.
However, now, they are looking at midfielder actively. They have many options on their list.
Adam Wharton remains under consideration, but his valuation is too high according to Madrid hierarchy.
Nico Paz is another name on the list. However, the dream target for Real Madrid is the Manchester City man.
Xabi Alonso believes that the player is ideal for Madrid. The Spaniard wanted Martin Zubimendi, who chose Arsenal over Real Madrid.
Now, the Los Blancos want to try and sign Rodri from Manchester City. They wanted to sign the Ballon d’Or winner before.
However, injuries created doubts over the feasibility of his signing. But since returning to action, his performances have caught attention.
Rodri impressed against Sunderland and then completed the full match in the 1–1 draw with Chelsea.
Against Chelsea, his influence was clear. He created four chances, won nine duels, and completed five tackles. The Spaniard also recorded ten recoveries over the ninety minutes.
Those displays have prompted a fresh plan. The 29-year-old fits the exact profile Real Madrid believe they are missing in the centre of the pitch.
Rodri’s current deal runs until June 2027. If Manchester City want to avoid losing him for free, they may need to consider offers next summer.
According to MARCA, Madrid want to take advantage of his contract situation. The club believe they can apply pressure to reduce the transfer fee.
For now, Real Madrid are carefully weighing their next move as plans for the summer take shape.
