In search of a defensive midfielder since the start of the transfer window, Real Madrid has repeatedly expressed its keen interest in Rodri , the recent Ballon d'Or 2024 winner . However, according to information from the newspaper AS , this lead has cooled considerably. Although the Merengues are ready to make a significant offer to secure the services of the Spanish international, the complexity of the case is pushing the Madrid club to reject this option. In the short term, the directors seem to rule out the arrival of the player during this summer transfer window, in particular due to certain uncertainties surrounding his physical condition.
Rodri has just returned from a serious knee injury that kept him sidelined for several months, and Real Madrid wants to monitor his progress this season before making a more concrete move. The move is all the more difficult given that Manchester City has no interest in facilitating the departure of one of its key players. The Spanish club could return to the fray next summer, when Rodri enters the final year of his contract, provided he doesn't extend his contract before then. In the meantime, Real Madrid is counting on its own midfielders like Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Valverde, and Arda Güler, even if none of them have the same profile as Rodri, so desired by Xabi Alonso. Real Madrid hasn't ruled out the option of signing the player this summer. Watch this space.
