Real Madrid does not despair of finding a worthy heir to Toni Kroos and seriously considers the recruitment of an experienced midfielder.
Real Madrid has still not given up on the idea of finding a worthy successor to Toni Kroos. The German, who bowed out in July 2024 after a final season under the Madrid colors, left a palpable emptiness in the midfield of the White House.
To fill this absence, the leaders Merengues keep an attentive eye on Rodri, the Médée Charte of Manchester City, as reported AS. Since his return at the end of the season after a break in the crossed ligament of the right knee occurred in September 2024, the profile of the Spaniard has been scrutinized closely.
A file to active, but with caution
The Madrid daily even evokes Rodri as a “big option” to take over from Kroos. And if the financial resources of the Vice-Champion of Spain make it possible to envisage such an operation, he would still think of delaying a season before taking action.
The reasons are simple: Real does not wish to take a risk and prefers to observe the evolution of Rodri's injury return, in particular to find out if he finds his best level. Finally, by 2026, the Ballon d'Or 2024 will only have one year of contract with the Skyblues, a contractual situation which will be advantageous for the Madrid club.
