Real Madrid seems to have almost completed its recruitments this summer, with an investment of 167.5 million euros, its biggest post-pandemic investment, after an expense of 361.3 million euros in 2019.
The arrival of Franco Mastanuono will complete the offensive options of Xabi Alonso, after a overhaul of his defense.
The point of the agenda is a midfielder. If we believe the information from the Spanish capital, Xabi Alonso always believes that a midfielder capable of giving the tone is important. Even if President Florentino Perez agrees, the only player who, according to him, deserves a financial investment is the Ballon d'Or Rodri Hernandez. As for whether they will be able to convince Manchester City to let him go, it's another story.
Perez will get involved in negotiations
However, it is a possibility, at least in his eyes. According to Cadena Ser, the Real Madrid boss intends to carry out the negotiations for Rodri personally and will be the one who will try to conclude a major operation. He will not rely on intermediaries or other leaders, but will himself direct negotiations with City and Rodri.
Rodri remains a target for Real Madrid.
Despite his injury to the previous cross ligament and his age of 29, his importance seems obvious both for the Merengues and for Manchester City. The Pep Guardiola team seeks to offer him a new colossal contract which would maintain him at Etihad until 2029, when he was 33 years old.
Before his injury to the previous cross ligament, rumors circulated on Real Madrid's intention to recruit him. Despite information from the Merengues announcing the end of their contract this summer, it was suggested that a transfer for Rodri is still possible if City opens the door. It will be interesting to see the amount proposed by the Merengues in Rodri, because they generally do not offer long -term contracts to players who have exceeded thirty.
