Real Madrid fans have sent a clear message on social media regarding their thoughts on a player they want at the club.

Now that the World Cup is finally over, Real Madrid can finally continue with their activities in the summer transfer window.

Los Blancos were quick to sign Marc Cucurella before Spain's first match of the tournament, as the left-back became the only representative to lift the prized trophy this time around, thanks to Ferran Torres' winner during extra time.

The Merengues have now apparently increased their presence in the transfer market, as they are looking to add one or more significant names to their squad.

One World Cup star's name has apparently been in the mouths of every Los Blancos fan since Spain's victory over Argentina in the final.

Ever since the reports of Rodri's willingness to make a move to Madrid came out in the media, the Santiago Bernabeu faithful have been dreaming of seeing the Spanish captain in the royal white shirt.

But as things turned out, President Florentino Perez decided against making any moves for the Manchester City midfielder this summer.

As it seems, there are apparently two sides to this supposed decision from Perez, one is that Rodri is already 30 years old and had a fair share of injury problems last season.

On the other hand, there stands the big ego part, as the Manchester City midfielder was initially a proposed transfer of Perez's competitor, Enrique Riquelme, during the presidential election last month.

Now, as it stands, the fans have decided to make their feelings known to the Whites as they have started to put Rodri's picture in the comments of every official post from the club on social media (h/t Madrid Zone).

The club management is most certainly aware of this recent development, as rumors are now selling like hot cakes all around.

The Whites are yet to make a move for the golden ball winner, but there is no denying the fact that Los Blancos certainly have a great opportunity in their hands.

Rodri has already entered the final season of his contract at City and has rejected recent renewal offers from his current club.

And the fact that the player has himself shown willingness to join Real Madrid certainly puts Los Blancos in the driver's seat.

Only if they are willing to negotiate a deal regarding the transfer of the player this summer.

These recent developments have seemingly taken away the attention from Los Blancos and Perez's long-time desire to reunite Kylian Mbappe and his French teammate Michael Olise in the Spanish capital.

As it stands, the Whites have a lot on their plate already during this summer transfer window, but of course they have been in these situations multiple times before and certainly know the way through.
