Real dreams of Rodri but has an alternative in mind

Real Madrid aims to strengthen their midfield and is seeking a replacement for Toni Kroos, who retired last year. This is reported by Cadena Ser.

According to the source, the main candidate for reinforcement is Ballon d'Or winner Rodri from Manchester City. The management of "Los Blancos" is not deterred by the fact that the Spanish midfielder suffered a serious injury at the start of the current season – a cruciate ligament rupture. It is noted that Rodri's potential move could be influenced by his friendship with Madrid defender Dani Carvajal.

An alternative to Rodri is considered to be Real Sociedad's midfielder Martin Zubimendi. However, he is also actively pursued by London's Arsenal, which is rumored to be in a more favorable position to sign the player.
