Real Madrid has already completed four signing sessions this summer, and there may be a fifth on the way because the club has identified a priority area to strengthen: defensive midfield. It is a position that caused many problems last season, and there is a desire to avoid a repeat of this in the first campaign of Xabi Alonso.
Currently, Real Madrid Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga and Dani Ceballos have shown a fragmentary form with all three in the past 12 months, there is a desire for a new addition to the top level to be brought inside.
And club bosses have identified their dream goal: Rodri Hernandez. According to Diario AS, Real Madrid are attentive to the situation of the 29-year-old.
After nine months after nine months, Rodri returned to the Club World Cup with an ACL injury and Real Madrid officials led the rule about his performances. They are expected to do this again when Man City is back in action in the Premier League, with the intention of taking a step in 2026 when he returned to his top performance level – but only if he does not sign a new deal with the city in advance.
Rodri would be a market chance in this case, but there is no guarantee that he will not sign a new contract with Man City for the past 10-12 months. But if that option disappears, Real Madrid has other options – namely Inter's Nicolo Barella, Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez and Alexis Mac Allister from Liverpool.
However, there is uncertainty about signing them because of the conviction that their asking prices would be in the region, or in surplus, of € 100 million. Real Madrid does not want to pay this for a new midfielder, and they would not have to have to do that with Rodri if he had 12 months on his contract in Man City by the time that the next summer rolls around.
