Rodri Hernández has once again shown in the World Cup that he continues to be one of the most dominant midfielders in international football, but his potential signing by Real Madrid is losing strength. The issue lies not in the player's performance or willingness but in a white squad that barely leaves room for such a significant addition.

As explained by journalist José Félix Díaz on the Twitch channel of Rubén Martín, the great tournament performed by the Madrid native has not altered the club's position. The continuity of the main members of the midfield could lead to the club not incorporating any midfielder during this transfer window.

Rodri Hernández cannot find a place in the Real Madrid midfield

The Spanish international, 30 years old, would see a return to the capital with great enthusiasm. His desire to compete in Spain and be part of the new Madrid project are factors that could facilitate a personal agreement, although important sports and economic obstacles would still need to be resolved.

Rodri Hernández is under contract with Manchester City until June 30, 2027. This circumstance would force the English team to make a decision: renew his contract, accept a sale this summer, or risk his value decreasing as he enters the final year of his contract.

However, at the Santiago Bernabéu, they do not consider it a priority to make a substantial investment in another defensive midfielder. The team already has Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, and Federico Valverde, three players who wish to continue and are part of the planning for the new project.

Tchouaméni's renewal blocks the operation

The most significant decision is the extension of Tchouaméni's contract. The French player, whose previous contract ended in 2028, is close to being secured until 2031, although some reports suggest the new expiry date is 2032. The sporting message is clear: he will be a key piece of the team.

The defensive midfielder arrived from Monaco in 2022 in a deal worth €80 million fixed, plus additional variables. After going through moments of inconsistency, he has regained prominence, and the club believes he can establish himself as the starting midfielder for the upcoming seasons.

Real Madrid seeks a different profile

The continuity of the French player would not necessarily prevent the signing of another midfielder, but it would influence the player's characteristics. Real Madrid would require a more creative player, capable of organizing possession, breaking lines with passes, and setting the pace from central positions.

Although Rodri Hernández possesses extraordinary technical quality, his natural position aligns with that of Tchouaméni. They could play together on the field, but making a multi-million investment to bring together two defensive specialists does not currently seem to be the priority for the sports management.

Camavinga's situation also plays a role. Despite speculations about a possible transfer to the Premier League, the French player wants to stay and convince the new coaching staff. Valverde, on the other hand, remains essential due to his work rate, physical capacity, and tactical versatility.

Manchester City still has room to react

Manchester City is not obliged to immediately sell their star player, but his contract adds pressure to the negotiation. The English team has been considering an extension that would make the Spanish player one of the highest-paid within the squad.

To pursue the transfer, the Madrid club would need to free up an important spot and bear a high cost. Although his contract expires in 2027, the current English champions would unlikely allow the departure of one of their leaders without receiving a sum corresponding to his stature.

A return to LaLiga would be appealing to the Madrid player, who previously played in the youth teams of Atletico and shone at Villarreal before moving to England. Nevertheless, his desire alone does not guarantee an operation that requires tactical compatibility, salary space, and a complex negotiation.

Currently, the most likely scenario involves maintaining the current midfield structure and allocating resources to other positions. Unless an unexpected departure occurs, Rodri Hernández will remain a challenging target for a Real Madrid that has chosen Tchouaméni as the midfield leader.
