The statement about "excess" in Real Madrid's midfield position is indeed thought-provoking. On the one hand, in terms of number of players, Real Madrid has no shortage of midfielders, and it is more than enough in terms of lineup depth and player choice. But in terms of functionality, the team lacks a decent organizational core. Although Bellingham and Valverde are all-around and can complete multiple tasks on the court, they are not the traditional organizers. Guillail has certain passing ability, but his vision and overall view are obviously not mature enough. Kamavenga and Chu Ameni are more like "engineers" on the field, and are more prominent in defense and fighting. As for Celeros, although he has organizational capabilities, he has never been able to hold a stable position in the main position. In addition, the signing plan against Subimedi was intercepted by Arsenal, Real Madrid's midfield problem seems to be increasingly urgent. How should we solve it?
Is it really necessary to introduce Rodri, the core of Manchester City, as mentioned by The Sun? According to the information disclosed by authoritative football reporter Tomás González Martín, Real Madrid has no intention of buying Rodri immediately because the actual operationality of the deal is quite limited.
Rodri, 29, played for Atletico Madrid, a La Liga powerhouse. He transferred to Premier League giant Manchester City in 2019, with a transfer fee of up to 70 million euros. During this period at Manchester City, Rodri not only became the team's midfield core, but also helped Manchester City achieve four consecutive Premier League championships and win the coveted Champions League trophy. At the national team level, he also performed extraordinaryly. He not only became an MVP in the European Cup, but also won the Golden Ball Award, and he has become a top star in today's football world.
At present, Rodri's contract with Manchester City was originally scheduled to expire in 2027, which put Real Madrid in a dilemma. If they decide to buy Rodri at this moment, they will have to face a transfer fee of more than 100 million euros. By then, Rodri will be over 30 years old, and Real Madrid is obviously unwilling to take risks on such a critical player. Therefore, Real Madrid's attitude towards Rodri has become more appreciated, but they do not intend to really spend money to introduce it.
I think it is really interesting to see Real Madrid's attitude. Although the team has always expressed their appreciation for Rodri, it does not mean that they are willing to take action for him. Do they really think that every player has a "child emperor dream"? It is often said that once you join Real Madrid, you can not only attack the Golden Ball Awards, but also make a difference in the Champions League. Mbappe vowed to this and finally chose to join Real Madrid. However, Rodri was able to win the Champions League and the Golden Balls without playing for Real Madrid. Coupled with how Real Madrid chairman Florentino belittled the performance of "Madrid native" Rodri in last year's Golden Globes competition, it makes it harder for me to see how Real Madrid is attractive to Rodri.
Do you think Real Madrid is really willing to introduce Rodri? For this issue, everyone is welcome to actively interact in the comment section and share your views and insights.
