Hansi Flick\u2019s side is getting stronger and stronger. New Madrid\u2019s manager Xabi Alonso is reportedly eyeing a move for the midfielder, especially after Luka Modric leaves the club. There are reports suggesting that Madrid could go for Rodri of Man City this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid have already made some impressive moves in the summer transfer window, strengthening their squad in key areas. However, with arch-rivals Barcelona also looking revitalized under new boss Hansi Flick, Los Blancos are not ready to stop just yet. The aim is clear \u2014 to build a team that can dominate both in Spain and across Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Incoming manager Xabi Alonso is believed to be at the heart of Madrid\u2019s ambitious plans. With club legend Luka Modric departed, Alonso is reportedly keen on bringing in a world-class midfielder to fill the void. One name that has emerged prominently is Manchester City\u2019s Rodri.<\/p>\n<p>The Spanish international is widely regarded as one of the best holding midfielders in the world. His intelligence, composure, and leadership make him an ideal fit for the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u. But prising him away from Pep Guardiola\u2019s side won\u2019t be easy \u2014 or cheap. Reports suggest Madrid could be preparing a massive bid, possibly over \u20ac100 million. However, whether the club is willing to break the bank for Rodri remains a key question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real Madrid have made some bright signings this summer and they are looking for more as they want to compete well with their old rivals. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":36706,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[661,3686,3918,1823,3796,3919,266,2898,1967,3795,3608],"class_list":["post-15762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-barcelona","tag-david-ornstein","tag-english-premier-league","tag-fabrizio-romano","tag-football","tag-la-liga","tag-real-madrid","tag-rodri","tag-spain-football-team","tag-sportskeeda","tag-xabi-alonso"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15762\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
