Real Madrid cannot make any signings for the time being, but that could change if they sell at least one first team player. And in order to kill two birds with one stone, they could include current stars in a blockbuster deal for dream midfielder target Rodri Hernandez.
Real Madrid’s midfield problems were very apparent throughout last season, and they were exposed again when Paris Saint-Germain won 4-0 in the Club World Cup semi-final against Xabi Alonso’s side. Because of this, there is a desire to sign a proper replacement for Toni Kroos, whose absence has been felt since his retirement in 2024.
And of the players being considered by Real Madrid, the most likely player to be sought is Rodri. The 29-year-old was scouted by Los Blancos during the Club World Cup earlier this summer, which marked his return to action after he suffered an ACL tear last September.
According to CaughtOffside, Real Madrid are prepared to make a move for Rodri this summer, with a players-plus-cash deal having been considered. They are prepared to offer Eduardo Camavinga and Rodrygo Goes to the Premier League side, on top of paying €40m.
Man City’s stance on Rodri sale is very clear
Real Madrid believe that a deal can be done for Rodri, given that he has less than two years remaining on his current contract. However, Man City have already made it clear that they will not consider any offers that come in this summer.
If a deal cannot be done in 2025, Real Madrid will then look towards a possible arrangement next summer. If Rodri does not sign a new deal with Man City in the next 12 months, it is believed that he will be available for €60-80m in 2026, given that he would have less than a year remaining on his current contract.
The only deal that City would accept are Mbappe and Bellingham alongside £50m. RM doing what they normally do, trying to unsettle players to gain an advantage. Horrible, overly entitled and continually whinging they are a dreadful club
Funny story
No way. Pen will NOT buy egos, and those two, alongside Vinicius, have utterly swollen egos. And why on EARTH would we sell Rodri anyway?
Nonsense, click bait garbage
Absolutely spot on mate..do one rm
Spot on
Get lost
I would snap Madrids hands off for that deal. After Rodri’s injury there’s no telling how well he’d be in this coming season, however being close to 30 and at the peak of his powers, I could Understand City not taking the deal. I love Rodri, but with Grealish on his way out, uncertainty over other midfield players, I’d love to see Rodrygo on the left and Camavinga could learn the CDM role. And with both being under 25 they’ve got longevity. I’m happy with Rodri staying if that’s what’s chosen but I would also be more than happy for this deal happening 👍🏻
Madrid would be crazy to give up Rodrygo and Camavinga for an older mid coming off a torn ACL.
Rodrygo is going anyway, and y’all don’t have a holding midfielder remotely close to Rodri. Hence why oppositions with any decent midfield tear through the madrid centre and backline. Camavinga + Rodrygo + 40m is a good deal, I think.
Who came up with this idea ? Offload 2 young players that were never utilized to their potential for a 29 yo player that is just back on the field after a year off for an ACL injury? Rodri is no Kroos. Al Khaleifi and Cefarin both had an axe to grind against RM so they made sure the votes were rigged against RM… Rodri benefitted so good luck to him but he was not even the best player in City or the EPL. This idea is do dumb it sounds like someone from Barcelona thought of it.
Rodri is an elite holding midfielder, Kroos was more of a conductor. Y’all don’t have a holder like Rodri since perhaps Xabi Alonso is the closest (if at all). Your B’dor opinions aside, its a good deal cuz you wont find anyone as close in the market, Rodrygo is out of the team anyways, camavinga didn’t contribute much last season with needless injuries.
After the way that RM treated Rodri when he rightly won Ballon d Or he’d be mad to want to join that bunch.
Rm think something b4 u give camavinga, rodrygo £40 bcos we know rodri is talanted player however the youngest players most use at this time
We love our rodrygo & camavinga just realease this dream
Im a city fan but I feel like this is a no-brainer. Rodri is almost in his 30’s coming off an acl injury and Rodrygo and camavinga will offer younger and fresher legs to the team and playing Rodri and vini may not be too nice for the real fans. I feel that this is a wonderful deal in our favour
