Manchester United are reportedly keen to sign a Real Madrid midfielder to replace Casemiro this summer. It has been widely suggested that United's main objective this summer is to overhaul their midfield.

Rodri, whose deal concludes at the end of next season, cast doubt over his City prospects last month when he stated: "You can't turn down the best clubs in the world" after being questioned about the possibility of joining Real Madrid.But subsequently, Pep Guardiola has insisted that the Spain international will sign a new contract with City, though he also wouldn't block the midfielder's path if the La Liga heavyweights came knocking. Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister and Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez have also been linked with a move to Real Madrid.Tchouameni, rated at £65million by Transfermarkt, is tied down in Madrid until 2028.
