Real Madrid spent 100 million to win the Golden Ball Award winner, the Magic Flute successor arrived, and his shortcomings instantly became strong!

Real Madrid faces the dilemma of insufficient midfielder, while Manchester City's core player was injured, and the deal of 100 million euros became confusing.

Recently, Real Madrid lost 0-4 to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup, and head coach Alonso publicly admitted that the team's midfield strength was insufficient. Under such circumstances, the team's star player Modric is about to leave the team, and the management urgently needs to find a new star who can fill the position. British media reported that Real Madrid has turned its attention to Manchester City's Rodri, the player who just won the Golden Ball Award is currently priced at 110 million euros. However, Real Madrid is obviously reluctant to pay such a high transfer fee, hoping to reach a deal at a lower price.

Rodri was absent from a serious knee injury for six months. He just returned to participate in the Club World Cup, but his form still failed to recover to his best form. Manchester City originally planned to renew his contract, but given his injury history, there is now some hesitation about his future. At the same time, Real Madrid wanted to take the opportunity to sign him at a low price, but the two sides were still having a tug of war on transfer fees.

In addition to Rodri, Real Madrid has other alternative midfielders, such as Enzo and Barrera, but these players are not currently tradeable, so Real Madrid cannot introduce them. Recently, they also paid attention to Liverpool's Connate, which Real Madrid hopes to bring it to the lineup for 20 million euros as the contract expires.

If Real Madrid choose to sell Rodrigo and Celeros, it is expected to recover 80 million to 100 million yuan, which will be enough to introduce new players. In the new season of La Liga, the competition is quite fierce, with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid competing for the championship, so Real Madrid needs to strengthen their work as soon as possible.

If Rodri really joins, combined with Joan Améni and Camavenga, a new midfield combination will be formed. However, Manchester City may not release people easily. After all, he is an indispensable part of the team's tactical system before being injured. Without his participation, the team's performance may be affected. At the same time, Real Madrid is also worried about his physical condition, worried that his injury will affect the team's record again.

In the case of Connatter, Liverpool seems to be considering selling him, after all, he has not played much recently. If Real Madrid can sign him at a low price, it will not only strengthen the defense line, but also save money for introducing midfielders.

Alonso pointed out that the team needs to improve in many aspects, and other positions need to be reviewed and adjusted in addition to midfielders. The current transfer market is not loose, and there is basically no movement for popular players. Real Madrid can only pay attention to players whose contracts are about to expire.

Rodri's contract does not expire until 2027, and Manchester City may not be sold easily unless Real Madrid is willing to pay enough funds. Although Rodri personally may want to seek a new environment, injury issues may affect his market value. Real Madrid wants to keep costs low, while Manchester City wants to keep players worth. The deal may delay until the end of the season before it will result.

As for whether Real Madrid can win the championship in the new season, it is still unknown. The departure of the core players has forced the team to rely on newly introduced young players. The effectiveness of funds expenditure still depends on the performance of the players and the ability of the coach to allocate.

The news is spreading rapidly in the transfer market, but the actual transaction is relatively slow, so Real Madrid must wait patiently. If Rodri fails to reach the talk, the team may need to find other options. In short, whether this 100 million euro transfer can be achieved will directly affect Real Madrid's performance and prospects in next season.
