Didac Aguirre Florentino has 3 top-level names on the table if he can't sign Rodri
The top-level options that could arrive at Real Madrid given the difficulty in signing Rodri
For several months, it has been known that one of Florentino Pérez's greatest desires is to carry out the signing of Rodri. Manchester City's midfielder is considered the ideal replacement for Kroos. However, according to Defensa Central, Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister, and Nicolò Barella are being considered by Florentino Pérez.
The reason for this is due to the difficulties that have arisen in signing Rodri this or next summer. His contract until 2027 and his high market value make it impossible for Rodri to wear white. Even so, Florentino has seen in Enzo, Mac Allister, and Barella the midfielder that Real Madrid needs so much.
The signing of any of them, however, will be extremely difficult to carry out. At least Enzo and Mac Allister, given their importance to their teams, would be difficult signings. As for Barella, Inter Milan is not closed to negotiating his departure this summer.
The heir to Toni Kroos
At 34 years old, Toni Kroos surprised everyone by announcing his retirement from soccer 2 seasons ago. After a glorious era with Real Madrid, the German decided it was time to hang up his boots. A decision that, to this day, continues to affect the club, which has not managed to find an ideal replacement for the center of the field.
Enzo Fernández, at just 24 years old, is a great option due to his excellent performance. World champion with Chelsea and Argentina, Enzo is a pillar for both teams. Mac Allister, at 26 years old, has become one of the best midfielders in the Premier League with Liverpool.
Although the signing of any of them would be a great move for Real Madrid, their value and contract make this difficult. In addition, both Chelsea and Liverpool are not looking for an exit for their star midfielders. This leaves Real Madrid with Barella who, at 28 years old, could leave for a value of €75 million according to Transfermarkt.
The focus remains on Rodri
Even considering these great players, the priority remains the signing of Rodri. While Real Madrid could try to negotiate his departure, Florentino is aware of the possible response. With the time remaining until the end of the market, the only thing left is to decide who will cover Kroos's absence.
