Real Madrid will sacrifice Rodrygo to sign 2 new galactic players

Real Madrid has a clear plan if they manage to close the sale of Rodrygo, who is in the sights of Manchester City under Pep Guardiola: They will pursue the signings of Ibrahima Konaté from Liverpool and Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace.

Rodrygo's departure, valued at 100 million euros, would allow the sports management of the merengue team to proceed with the signings of both players, who are requests from Xabi Alonso himself, as reported by Defensa Central.

The key for Real Madrid: Rodrygo's departure

Officially in Valdebebas, the message has been clear: the squad is closed. However, the loan of the number '30' to Franco Mastantuono and his integration into the first team has sparked speculation about a possible move before the market closes.

The sale of Rodrygo would not only ease the wage bill but also generate enough economic margin to undertake two impactful signings expressly requested by Xabi Alonso. There is also information that they would be willing to lower their economic demands to part ways with the Brazilian.

Adam Wharton, a priority for the midfield

The young midfielder from Crystal Palace is seen as a key piece to reinforce the white midfield. Adam Wharton, defensively oriented but with great vision, has been one of the revelation midfielders in England, registering an 87% pass accuracy and standing out for his ability to recover balls.

“We want a player who combines youth, talent, and ball control,” a member of the coaching staff reportedly commented. His arrival would provide depth and balance to a midfield that already features names like Tchouaméni, Camavinga, and Valverde.

Ibrahima Konaté, defensive security for Real Madrid

The second target is Ibrahima Konaté, a center back from Liverpool, whose physical strength and international experience fit the defensive needs of the club. With doubts about the continuity and reliability of Éder Militão and Antonio Rüdiger's age, the Frenchman is emerging as the ideal replacement to ensure long-term solidity.

Although Liverpool could demand up to 50 million euros, Real Madrid values that the player will be free in 2026, opening the door to negotiate a lower figure if Rodrygo's sale materializes.

The hypothetical arrival of Adam Wharton and Konaté would not only cover sensitive positions but also strengthen the team for the fight for all titles in the 2025/26 season. Additionally, it would allow Xabi Alonso to have a more balanced and prepared squad for the demands of LaLiga and the Champions League.

With three weeks until the market closes, all eyes are on the club's decision regarding Rodrygo. If the operation materializes, Real Madrid's summer could go from discreet to decisive in a matter of days.
