Defender Dani Carvajal believes that Rodri will be a great piece for Real Madrid’s midfield.

Responding to El Partidazo de COPE on July 11, Carvajal said: “There is no doubt, I really want Rodri to go to Real Madrid. I tell him every day to leave Manchester, there is no sunshine there.” Oh god, and go to Real Madrid because we need him. Rodri immediately replied that he still has a contract with Man City…. But anyway, Rodri is still a perfect piece for us.”

Closing the 2023/24 season, Real Madrid bid farewell to Toni Kroos. The German midfielder announced his retirement from playing career. This leaves a big hole in the midfield of “Los Blancos”.

At this time, Rodri emerged as one of the best midfielders in the world. The 28-year-old star is also considered the perfect choice to replace Kroos.

However, Real Madrid has difficulty convincing Man City to sell Rodri, who is still the team’s mainstay. The contract between the Spanish midfielder and “The Cityzens” is still valid until 2027.

At Etihad Stadium, Rodri receives a salary of 180,000 pounds/week. British media reported that Man City will extend the contract, thereby increasing this player’s salary to 300,000 pounds/week.

On July 15, Carvajal and Rodri will join their Spain teammates in the EURO 2024 final against England. After receiving a suspension in the semi-final against France, Carvajal will return to the “La Roja” defense.
