Real Madrid is already working on strengthening its squad for the 2025-2026 season, focusing its efforts on finding a midfielder to fill the void left by Toni Kroos after his retirement last summer. Although Carlo Ancelotti is fully focused on the crucial duel against Liverpool at Anfield, the club's board, led by Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez, is advancing in long-term planning.
In this sense, midfielder Rodri Hernández, current player of Manchester City, has emerged as the top priority. Recognized as one of the best midfielders in the world, his profile fits perfectly with the needs of the white team, which seeks a player with leadership, organizational skills, and experience at the top level. 'DefensaCentral' reports that Rodri is seen as Kroos' natural heir, thanks to his ability to control the pace of the games and handle the ball under pressure.
Real Madrid is already preparing the offer to sign Rodri
The Madrid club would be willing to pay 60 million euros, a figure that could convince Manchester City to facilitate the player's departure. Although the price is high, at the Santiago Bernabéu, they believe the investment is worthwhile due to the immediate impact Rodri would have on the team.
The interest in Rodri is not new, as his consistency and performance in Pep Guardiola's team have made him a coveted target by several European clubs. However, Real Madrid seems determined to lead the race for his signing and secure a world-class midfielder to maintain their competitiveness in the coming years. With this operation, the whites hope to consolidate a squad that remains a reference in Europe and, at the same time, ensure a reliable generational shift in midfield.
