A journalist from Realmadrid TV confirms the signing for 2026, it is not happening this summer

The star that Real Madrid will sign for next summer has been revealed by a renowned journalist

This transfer window doesn't seem likely to have many more moves from Real Madrid. Aside from the departures of some players, signings like Konaté's could be postponed until next summer. An instance where, according to information from journalist Melchor Ruiz, Real Madrid will seek to sign Rodri.

The Manchester City player has remained one of Real Madrid's main interests. According to what we know at Defensa Central, Real Madrid will go for his transfer if Rodri manages to return to his best form. This is due to the torn cruciate ligament he suffered last season, which kept him off the field for a long time.

Although Rodri managed to play during the Club World Cup, the midfielder wasn't at his best. His possible signing for next summer shows Real Madrid's caution. In addition, since he has a contract until 2027, signing him this summer would be impossible.

Real Madrid's great desire

At 29 years old, Rodri is one of the best midfielders in the world. Trained in Atlético de Madrid's and Villarreal's youth academies, Rodri played for both clubs before making the leap to Manchester City. At the club, under Josep Guardiola's orders, he managed to establish himself as one of the best in his position.

In what will be his sixth season with City, Rodri's future isn't guaranteed. His experience and quality have put him on Real Madrid's radar for some time. With Kroos's retirement and Modric's departure, the club considers Rodri an essential player.

Although Real Madrid could try to sign him this summer, his price will be excessive. Since he's still important for City, the English club will look to receive a good sum for Rodri. Although Real Madrid could negotiate, the club prefers to be patient with this signing.

The bombs of next summer

This transfer window hasn't even ended and Real Madrid are already preparing next summer's bombs. Rodri is facing his chance to prove he has the level the Merengue team is looking for. Despite his serious injury, Rodri has made progress that is certainly encouraging.
