Whereas it has been a busy summer time for Actual Madrid, with 4 signings for a complete of €167.5m arriving, there’s one place that continues to train a lot debate within the Spanish capital. The exits of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric haven’t seen a controlling midfielder signed, and the phrase is that new supervisor Xabi Alonso would very very like one.
The hierarchy at Actual Madrid are much less satisfied. President Florentino Perez has little intention of spending large on a midfielder this summer time until he feels that they’re price it. Thus far the one participant he has seen that will persuade him to take action is Manchester Metropolis man Rodri Hernandez. Nevertheless coming off the again of a long-term damage, and on the age of 29, these elements make a big-money deal extra unlikely.
Manchester Metropolis to supply new deal to Rodri
Rodri’s present contract expires in 2027, and Los Blancos might very a lot be tempted to repatriate the Madrid native at that time. A 12 months down the road, if he has not signed a brand new deal, then he could possibly be out there at a diminished worth, and Actual Madrid would have ample proof of his restoration from the cruciate ligament damage.
Nevertheless Metropolis don’t have any intention of letting him go and not using a combat. Fabrizio Romano says that Metropolis will provide Rodri a brand new four-year deal till 2029, and make him their second-best paid participant after Erling Haaland. That might take him to the age of 33, a long-term deal few gamers obtain at past this age.
