Rodri, a 30-year-old Spanish midfielder from Manchester City, has become the priority of the transfer market of Real Madrid after closing the sales of Gonzalo García and César Palacios to Fulham for an amount close to 50 million euros. The white club aims to use these earnings for an operation that would cost around 60 million in this market. 

The sports management believes that the midfielder is the missing piece to strengthen a strategic position in the squad. With a significant amount of money already secured thanks to the departure of two academy players, Real Madrid now has more leeway to attempt negotiations with Manchester City, although there is still no agreement between the clubs. 

Rodri, Real Madrid's Priority for the Midfield

The interest of Real Madrid in Rodri has increased in recent days. Various reports suggest that the club has already made an initial verbal proposal to Manchester City, around 50 million euros, while the total cost of the operation could approach 60 million. 

The Spanish international is under contract with the English side, but his contractual situation and the interest shown by the white club have paved the way for negotiations this summer. The Madrid leadership understands that bolstering the midfield is a top priority before the market closes. 

Rodri is seen as a proven profile for a position where the team seeks experience and balance. Therefore, Real Madrid is ready to make a significant investment if the economic conditions allow sealing the deal. 

Gonzalo and Palacios' Sales Facilitate the Operation

The departures of Gonzalo and Palacios provide a financial boost for the transfer. The forward will head to Fulham for 40 million euros fixed, plus 2 million in variables, while Real Madrid will retain a percentage of a future sale and preferential rights over the player. 

Simultaneously, Palacios will also continue his career in the London team through a transfer valued at 10 million euros, also with 30% of future profit reserved for Real Madrid and rights of first refusal. The sum of both operations yields earnings close to 50 million euros. 

The club's strategy involves generating liquidity through the sale of players developed at Valdebebas while retaining some control over their future. This approach enables funding for new signings and the possibility of repurchase or profits in case of increased value.

Rodri's Next Step

After completing the deals for Gonzalo and Palacios, the next move for Real Madrid will be to intensify talks for Rodri. The white club needs to narrow the economic gap with Manchester City, whose valuation of the Spanish international is around 60 million euros, a figure Florentino Pérez aims to reach with the revenues generated during this window.
