Goodbye to Rodrygo and hello to two new stars, Real Madrid has its plan ready

Real Madrid already has a clear plan for the market. Everything depends on Rodrygo's sale. The Brazilian is on Pep Guardiola's Manchester City radar.

If his departure is finalized, the sporting management will act quickly. The goal is to sign two key players: Ibrahima Konaté from Liverpool and Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace. Both are specific requests from Xabi Alonso, according to Defensa Central.

Rodrygo's sale and the planned signings

Rodrygo is valued at about €100 million. His sale would not only ease the wage bill, but would also provide room to make two impactful signings. In Valdebebas, they keep that the squad is closed, but Mastantuono's arrival to the first team has opened the door to moves before the market closes.

The club could negotiate his departure at a more flexible price if the deal is finalized. This would allow them to strengthen sensitive positions and would give Xabi Alonso the players he considers priorities for his project.

Adam Wharton, priority for the midfield

The young English midfielder is seen as a key piece. At 22 years old, Wharton has shined in the Premier League with Crystal Palace. He stands out for his ball recovery, vision, and passing accuracy, with an 87% success rate.

The coaching staff is looking for a player who combines youth and intelligence on the ball. His arrival would add depth and balance to a midfield that already features Tchouaméni, Camavinga, and Valverde.

Ibrahima Konaté, security for the defense

The second target is Konaté. The French center-back from Liverpool brings physical strength and international experience. With Rüdiger's age and some doubts about Militão, Konaté would be an ideal reinforcement to ensure long-term stability in defense.

Liverpool could ask for up to €50 million, but the fact that he becomes a free agent in 2026 opens the possibility of negotiating a lower price if Rodrygo is sold first.

The arrival of Wharton and Konaté would strengthen two vital positions. Real Madrid would gain youth, talent, and solidity. It would also allow Xabi Alonso to have a more balanced team for LaLiga and the Champions League.

With three weeks until the market closes, everything depends on the decision about Rodrygo. If his sale is finalized, Madrid's summer would go from quiet to crucial in a matter of days.
