José Mourinho is eager to add more quality and control to Real Madrid's midfield ahead of the new season.

The Portuguese manager is still pushing for the arrival of both a central defender and a midfielder, with his priority in the middle of the park being a player capable of dictating the tempo and orchestrating the team's play.

Rodri has emerged as one of the leading candidates following his impressive performances at the World Cup. The Manchester City midfielder has been repeatedly linked with Real Madrid, and his displays on the international stage have further strengthened his case.

Reports have previously suggested that the tournament could play a decisive role in determining whether Real Madrid make a move for the Spain international. Mourinho is believed to value Rodri's composure on the ball, vision and ability to control matches—qualities that perfectly fit the profile he wants to add to his midfield.
