Toni kroos Praises Rodri‘s “Invisible” Influence, Real Madrid Monitoring Manchester City Star
Real madrid is reportedly keeping a close watch on Manchester City midfielder Rodri, with the Spanish international’s impact on the game drawing high praise from veteran midfielder Toni Kroos. kroos described Rodri’s presence as an “invisible force” that organizes play, allowing forwards to finish matches with ease, a contribution he feels is frequently enough taken for granted.
“it’s like you don’t notice. It is like everything is in order and then the forwards can finish games with ease,” kroos explained, highlighting the fundamental importance of the central midfield position in modern football.
Rodri has been a target for Real Madrid for some time, but a transfer is elaborate by his contract with Manchester City, which extends until 2027. The Premier League club is keen to secure a contract extension, especially with the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, which could impact his market value if a renewal isn’t agreed upon.
Real Madrid views the defensive midfield role as a key area for future reinforcement, and Rodri is seen as an ideal fit. While a move this summer is considered unlikely due to the significant transfer fee and City’s unwillingness to sell, Los Blancos are prepared to monitor the situation. Should contract negotiations between Rodri and Manchester City stall, Real Madrid could potentially see an opportunity to make a move in the future.
