Real Madrid Eyes Rodri After Kroos, Modric Exits

Real Madrid continues to struggle in the 2024-25 season following the retirements of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, whose departures have left a significant gap in the team's midfield. Kroos, who won 22 trophies during his decade at the club, retired at the peak of his career after a triumphant final season. To fill the void, Real Madrid is reportedly targeting Manchester City's Rodri, considering a substantial cash-plus-player offer that could include Eduardo Camavinga and Rodrygo. The club hopes Rodri's experience will restore stability, but his recent injury and City's evolving midfield present complications. Kroos has acknowledged the challenge of replacing him and remains engaged as a fan. Despite ongoing efforts, Real Madrid has yet to secure a marquee signing or return to its former dominance.
