Former Real Madrid star Toni Kroos recently shared his admiration for Manchester City’s Rodri. His comments arrive amidst renewed media speculation linking the 29-year-old midfielder with a potential move back to his home country, specifically to Los Blancos. Real Madrid actively seeks reinforcements in their midfield, a key area for the club.
Kroos spoke to El Pais Semanal, with his remarks cited by Diario AS, highlighting Rodri’s significant influence. He noted how Manchester City’s performance suffered following Rodri’s recent knee injury, emphasizing the crucial role a central or defensive midfielder plays.
Kroos explained that such players are often taken for granted; their consistent presence ensures fluidity, making it easier for forwards to succeed.
Real Madrid is actively searching for new talent in the middle of the park. The departures of both Kroos and Luka Modrić over the past year have left Xabi Alonso’s squad needing more experience and tactical awareness.
Rodri’s name has become a prominent topic in Madrid headlines again. Kroos himself believes Rodri, despite his serious recent knee injury, would be a valuable addition to Real’s squad.
