The Spanish giants Real Madrid are ready to make an offer worth 100 million pounds for Manchester City midfielder and Ballon d'Or winner Rodri, Topsport reported.
The news was reported by the British newspaper The Sun. According to the publication, the new coach of the "Royal Club" - Xabi Alonso has identified the attraction of a defensive midfielder as one of his main priorities for the summer transfer window.
In recent weeks, the "Santiago Bernabeu" have discussed various options for strengthening the midfield, including the name of Angelo Stiller from Stuttgart. Recently, there have even been reports of tension between Xabi Alonso and the management, who have announced that they will only approve a serious investment if they can attract a top-class player.
Real Madrid have been following Rodri for a long time, and the midfielder's current contract with Man City expires in 2027. If he does not wish to renew it, the midfielder will enter the final year of his contract next summer - something that would lower his transfer price. At the same time, the "White Belt" have already significantly renewed their defensive line with the signing of Dean Hausen, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alvaro Carreras.
