Real Madrid was unexpectedly given the news that Toni Kroos is soon going to return from professional football. The German midfielder will leave Real Madrid after being there for nearly ten years. Now the Spanish club is desperate to find an ideal replacement, and they may go after Pep Guardiola’s most important player in Manchester City. Diario AS reports that one of the players Real Madrid is looking at on the market is Rodri. He is 27 years old and is seen as a great replacement for Toni Kroos. The Spanish midfielder is one of the best players in the world, and if Real Madrid were to sign him, he would come at a hefty price.

Rodri is currently valued at over $110 million, according to Transfermarkt, and the Spanish midfielder is once again regarded as one of the best players over the last year. This season, he has played a total of 49 matches in all competitions for Manchester City. He scored nine goals and provided 14 assists in all competitions this season for the Premier League. He has played a total of 256 matches for Manchester City since his arrival in 2019. If Rodri does arrive in Real Madrid, he will not be received well in Madrid.

Before he joined Manchester City in the summer of 2019, Rodri played for Atletico Madrid and was a part of the club since he was younger. Rodri played for the Atelti Youth team and the Atletico Madrid U17 team before he moved to Villarreal. Rodri returned to Atletico Madrid in 2018, and after one impressive season, Guardiola signed him to join him at Manchester City in the Premier League. Since then, Rodri has won four Premier League titles in a row.
