Real Madrid’s top transfer target for 2025 is Rodri, as the star of Man City is holding out for a contract extension at Etihad Stadium.

It has been stated that Rodri, a star for Manchester City who is holding out for a contract extension, is Real Madrid’s top transfer target for 2025.

Real Madrid is hopeful to finalize a deal for Alphonso Davies of Bayern Munich by next summer, according to the Spanish publication AS. As part of their long-term strategic planning, they are now focusing on Rodri. The team is looking for a player of a similar caliber to take Toni Kroos’s place in retirement. Kroos has had an unmatched impact on Madrid’s midfield. Being regarded as one of the greatest in his field, Rodri has become a “priority transfer target” to fill this post.

Rodri is currently at the height of his abilities at age 28, and when the 2025 transfer window opens, he will be 29 years old—the same age Zinedine Zidane was in 2001 when he signed with Real Madrid. Although his current City contract expires in2027, the team is keen to offer him a new contract in order to safeguard his future. The Spanish midfielder hasn’t committed to an agreement yet, though, which has fueled speculation that he would go.Though no deal has been made as of yet, City and his agent, Pablo Barquero, who also represents Real Madrid star Raúl Gonzalez, have been in contact regarding a renewal. According to reports, Rodri’s salary could be comparable to that of star striker Erling Haaland if he were to return to his hometown of Madrid and take on a significant role in Real Madrid’s sporting endeavors. However, Rodri may be enticed to leave City and rejoin his hometown.

Real Madrid won’t engage in a bidding war because they know Rodri will either join them or extend his contract with City. Madrid intends to hold off on making any significant decisions until the completion of the current campaign. By then, Rodri will only have two years left on his contract, and with Pep Guardiola possibly leaving Manchester City in 2025, this may be the ideal opportunityr. But in order to entice him to the Santiago Bernabeu, Los Blancos may have to pay a high fee of around €100 million (£85 million/$111 million), or a sum comparable to what they paid to acquire Jude Bellingham’s services.

At Real Madrid, Rodri would like to wear Endrick’s No. 16, which is currently on loan. Nonetheless, Kylian Mbappe, who may receive the No. 10 shirt following Luka Modric’s departure from the team in the summer of 2020, may give the Brazilian adolescent the No. 9 shirt. If Rodri decides to move to Madrid, this would free up the number 16 for him. Additionally, the addition would help Real Madrid increase the number of Spaniards on the team, which has decreased since Joselu and Nacho Fernandez left for the Middle East.
