The trio of Casemiro, Kroos, and Modric has always formed the heart of Real Madrid's midfield, with each player's strengths compensating for the weaknesses of their teammates, making them pivotal in the team's performance and a nightmare for opposing teams, according to the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo'.

Young players like Camavinga, Tchouameni, Arda Guler, and Thiago Beitarach are trying to take their place in the midfield, but so far, Valverde is the only one capable of delivering a performance similar to the previous trio, while the rest have shown inconsistent performances, with higher hopes placed on Arda Guler. The future of the Frenchmen Tchouameni and especially Camavinga remains uncertain.

Based on this, Real Madrid has decided that regardless of the outcome of the current season, they will seek to sign a player next summer who will significantly enhance the team's level. The first choice is the 29-year-old Rodri, whose contract with Manchester City ends in 2027, and he wishes to return to play in Spain, with his value estimated at around 100 million euros.

Rodri has extensive experience in La Liga after his tenure with Villarreal and Atletico Madrid and is considered ready to deliver immediate performance, with his previous affiliation with Atletico not posing any issue, as the player himself confirmed.

The other two alternatives are Enzo Fernandez, the 25-year-old Chelsea player, and Adam Wharton, the 22-year-old Crystal Palace player. Enzo is considered a confirmed performer, being a world champion who has shown his capabilities at the highest level, boasting a strong personality and the ability to lead the team and connect with the fans, although his cost exceeds 100 million euros, and he needs to integrate with players like Vinicius and Mbappe.

On the other hand, Adam Wharton is considered the easier option, having expressed his desire to join a team participating in the Champions League. He is an organized midfielder, controls the pace of play, possesses excellent vision, and has a precise left foot in passing. He is considered one of the promising players, despite not having yet experienced playing at the highest levels of competition except with the English national team.
