Not here, Real Madrid! It is revealed that Manchester City will renew his contract with Mr. Golden Ball, Real Madrid Kroos successor is not yet settled

According to famous football reporters and transfer expert Romano, Manchester City will renew their contract with Rodri until June 2029 and provide the second highest salary in the team after Haaland.

This is not good news for Real Madrid. After midfielders Kroos and Modric left the team one after another, Real Madrid has not been able to find a suitable successor. It is even more unrealistic to explore within the team.

In the 2024-25 season, as the defending champion of La Liga and Champions League, Real Madrid was all out of the four major seasons. La Liga, Spanish Super League Cup and King's Cup three-tier team were suppressed by Barcelona, and was eliminated by Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. This is incompatible with the forward Mbappe and Vinicius, and the large-scale injury in the defense, and it is also closely related to Cross's departure.

According to TA, Real Madrid's new coach Xavi Alonso wants to sign two more players this summer, but the club told him that there will be no more signings this summer and must accept and adapt to the existing lineup. After taking office, Alonso actively promoted the signing of AF, Wyson and Mastantono, who personally called to convince them to join. According to sources, Real Madrid has been looking for a midfielder, but there is no completely convincing choice. Club sources insist that the team will no longer have any new signings and Alonso must accept and adapt to the existing squad. This means that the Spanish midfielder who had rumored to have previously been missed by Real Madrid, the 2024 Golden Globe winner was at least impossible this summer. On July 26, British media Caughtoffside reported that Real Madrid is considering preparing a high-risk transfer for Rodri to bring Rodri to the Bernabeu as part of the midfield restructuring. Rodri will consolidate Alonso's tactical system based on experience and leadership. Sources revealed that Real Madrid had considered offering a heavy offer, including Rodrigo, Camavenga plus 40 million euros, to attract Manchester City to participate in the negotiations. Manchester City then stand firm that they will not sell Rodri and are preparing to renew their contract until 2030.

Rodri's existing contract with Manchester City expires on June 30, 2027, and Real Madrid believes that there may be more realistic options by waiting until next summer. If he chooses not to renew his contract, his value may drop to 60 million to 80 million euros in 2026. Rodri's current net worth is 110 million euros.

Romano revealed that if Rodri renews his contract with Manchester City, he may become Manchester City's second highest-paid player, second only to Haaland, which depends on Rodri's decision. Manchester City hopes to express their trust in Rodri through the contract renewal. The new contract is basically ready and will be submitted to the players soon.

This means that next summer, it will be even more unlikely for Rodri to switch to Real Madrid.

"As" said that except Rodri, others such as Zubimendi, McAllister, Stiller, Enzo, etc. are not in line with the goals of Real Madrid's management. The club is firmly convinced that existing players can play better than last season. They hope for Joan Améni's progress and Guerre's transformation into a more inward-center-center position.

The new season is about to begin, where will Real Madrid go? It depends on how much Harvey Alonso put it into the pot.
