Real Madrid continue to be linked with a host of players, with the latest incoming rumour concerning Wolves' young attacker Mateus Mané. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 36 possible arrivals and 8 potential exits. The items below represent the latest news on the most important transfer rumours, with the hottest storyline right now revolving around Nico Schlotterbeck.
Mateus Mané
Wolves' 18-year-old English-Portuguese attacking midfielder Mateus Mané is one of several young English prospects who has recently been attracting attention from Real Madrid’s scouting department, according to a report on Tuesday. The Spanish club has intensified its focus on talent in England following the successful signing of Jude Bellingham, with a source close to the club saying it would be illogical not to scout there. This season, Mané has made 18 Premier League appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 2 assists. Several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool and Manchester United, have also been linked with the player, for whom Wolverhampton's asking price was reportedly between £45-50 million in February 2026.
Rodri
Rodri could potentially transfer to Real Madrid alongside Jurgen Klopp, Team Talk reported on Monday. The report states that the Spaniard is the main non-negotiable signing for the former Liverpool manager and that he would be pleased by the idea of returning to La Liga. It adds that Manchester City could be forced to negotiate his sale for a reasonable price as he has no intention of renewing his contract, which expires in the summer of 2027. This follows a report from Friday, when Spanish reporter Ramon Alvarez de Mon stated that Real Madrid are making more concrete plans to sign Rodri from Manchester City, conditional on the midfielder rediscovering his best form and performing well in the World Cup.
Nico Schlotterbeck
On Tuesday, Nicolo Schira reported that Nico Schlotterbeck is being monitored by Real Madrid and has already rejected an offer from Borussia Dortmund to extend his contract, which expires in 2027. A day earlier, Mundo Deportivo reported that Real Madrid are preparing to compete with Liverpool for the Germany international, who is entering the final year of his contract in Dortmund. The report noted that Real Madrid have identified Schlotterbeck as a priority option as they look to make changes to their defensive line.
Alexis Mac Allister
According to a Tuesday report from TEAMtalk, Alexis Mac Allister is a priority target for Real Madrid ahead of the summer transfer window. Recruitment officials at Madrid reportedly value the midfielder's tactical adaptability. Multiple reliable sources have confirmed there is no release clause in his contract. By the end of the 2025/26 season, he will enter the final two years of his deal, meaning Liverpool must either secure renewed terms this summer or risk heightened transfer pressure.
Konrad Laimer
On Monday, it was reported that Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid are monitoring Konrad Laimer, a 28-year-old Austrian Right-Back from Bayern Munich. The interest from the two Spanish clubs is considered less concrete than that from Liverpool. Laimer's current club is said to be unwilling to begin any transfer talks unless the player himself requests a move, which has not yet occurred. The Austrian international's contract runs until June 2027.
Kenan Yıldız
Team Talk reported on Monday that Real Madrid have reached an agreement to pursue young Juventus forward Kenan Yıldız in the summer.
Micky van de Ven
According to a Tuesday report from Sports Boom, Micky van de Ven has rejected an opportunity to extend his Tottenham contract amid interest from both Barcelona and Real Madrid. Spurs reportedly want £100 million to sell the defender. This follows a claim from Spanish outlet Defensa Central on Saturday that Van de Ven wants to join Real Madrid in the summer transfer window and is awaiting contact from the club.
