Real Madrid is actively pursuing Manchester City midfielder Rodri as a priority transfer target for the summer of 2025. Rodri, who played a pivotal role in City's recent successes, is also being offered a lucrative contract extension by City, making him one of their highest-paid players. Despite this, the allure of returning to Madrid and filling the void left by Toni Kroos makes a move appealing for Rodri. Real Madrid's interest in Rodri is part of a broader strategy that also includes targeting Alphonso Davies and Florian Wirtz. Meanwhile, Arsenal's William Saliba is also on Real Madrid's radar as they look to bolster their defense following multiple injuries and departures.
