Real Madrid is strongly connected to a number of players in the course of the summer, where midfield is often marked as a potential area for Los Blancos to reinforce. Although they do not miss quality in the position, many think Xabi Alonso is missing a player that she can give all the things he did when he was in the club.
Alonso seems destined to go with a midfield three next season, instead of a link at the base, because Carlo Ancelotti has often preferred the past two seasons. In Fede Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, Arda Guler, Franco Mastantuono and Jude Bellingham, the Basque manager has many options, but no one has shown the possibility to determine the pace at the highest level. If Real Madrid wants to increase their chances to win the competition at Easybet, it could see an important shift in that respect.
Real Madrid has led to the will of Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister, Angelo Stiller and others, but the one who keeps coming back is Rodri Hernandez of Manchester City. The Star Man from City is in two summers without a contract and has so far rejected their offers from a renewal.
The advantage is clear for Los Blancos, because they would get one of the best midfielders in the world. Few can direct the game just like Rodri, and he could be one of the few who fills the Toni Kroos-shaped hole in midfield. In the past season, Real Madrid struggled to deliver their midfielders and send the ball in good situations, something that Rodri bases his game on.
His calmness in midfield would also help Real Madrid escape the press, something key in their intentions of overthrowing Barcelona. The defense and midfield were often forced to play more directly due to a lack of options to get the ball from behind.
Moreover, Rodri would be an experienced head in one side that has lost a lot of experience and leadership in recent years.
On the other hand, it is not without risk to Rodri. Rodri is currently 29 years old, and especially when they wait until next summer, Los Blancos will recruit a 30-year-old with a lot of football in his legs. The midfielder of Spain also comes behind the back of a cross union, which could take his toll if he enters the last stages of his career, and on his ability to circumvent the field.
Similarly, the signing of Rodri would very much conflict with their transfer policy if the following summer happens. Los Blancos do not hand out a multi -year deal to players older than thirty, and it has functioned well for them in recent seasons. When Rodri returns, he would solve many of their problems on paper, but there is a reason why they have reserved their large spending for younger options.
