LaLiga champions Real Madrid have reportedly decided on the perfect replacement for outgoing midfielder Toni Kroos.
Manchester City star midfielder Rodri has emerged as Real Madrid's preferred option to replace Toni Kroos next season.
Kroos will retire after Euro 2024 and his departure will certainly leave a void at the heart of Carlo Ancelotti's midfield.
Any potential replacement will need to not only match Kroos' abilities but also adapt seamlessly to the demands of Madrid's playing style and the high expectations of the club's supporters.

Manchester City's Rodri to Real Madrid?
According to AS, Madrid's dream target is Manchester City's Rodri
The report also adds that this will be a difficult move for Los Blancos to pull off.
The 27-year-old has 3 years remaining on his contract at the Etihad and is one of the leaders in the dressing room.
While an exit this summer is unlikely, Real Madrid believe there may be a chance in the summer of 2025, as the chance to sign the best defensive midfielder in Europe would be too good to turn down.
