The Spanish newspaper “Marca” reported that the Royal Club sees in Rodri the ideal solution to its midfield crises and filling the void left by Toni Kroos, based on the player’s desire to return to Spain after finishing his current season and participating in the World Cup.
For its part, the newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” reported that the arrival of the Golden Ball winner may raise sensitivity within the dressing room due to his previous rivalry with Vinicius Junior. The newspaper pointed out that Real Madrid’s plan to strengthen its ranks also includes Portuguese Bernardo Silva, whose contract with City expires soon, in addition to Frenchman Rayan Chergui.
