"The Spanish giants have lost influential figures like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos in the last couple of years, and their current squad arguably seems like it's struggling without those two legendary figures. Modric and Kroos were both great players but also hugely experienced in winning the biggest games and trophies at the highest level, which is something Rodri could also provide."
"While it makes sense that someone of Rodri's profile would be tempting for Real, it's perhaps hard to see City being prepared to risk the sale. Pep Guardiola's side have similarly lost some experienced names in recent times, such as Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, and Kyle Walker. Rodri remains a key player and is performing well again after a lengthy injury, so they'll surely want to have him around for a while longer."
"This is not the only big name Premier League midfielder we've seen linked with Madrid in recent times. We've been informed of Los Blancos looking at Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez, while a report from AS has also mentioned possible interest in the likes of Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister and Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace. It will be interesting to see who ends up being the priority, but in this context it certainly makes sense that Rodri would also be under consideration."
Real Madrid are intensifying interest in Manchester City midfielder Rodri as they seek more leadership and experience following the departures of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. The departures have left a gap in match-winning experience and squad leadership that Rodri could fill given his trophy-winning pedigree. Rodri has previously indicated openness to a move to the Bernabeu. Manchester City value Rodri highly and may be reluctant to sell while he remains a key player recovering form after injury, although his age and fitness record could make a sale financially practical. Real Madrid are also linked with Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister and Adam Wharton as midfield targets.
