Real Madrid set to pursue Rodri from Manchester City in spectacular move
Real Madrid have reportedly made a dramatic U-turn and are now preparing an ambitious bid to lure Rodri away from Manchester City this summer. The Spanish midfielder, who is under contract with City until next year, has become a high-profile target as his future in Manchester becomes increasingly uncertain.
At the age of 30, Rodri remains a central figure for the Premier League champions, but speculation has intensified over his commitment to a contract extension. Despite City’s eagerness to secure his signature on a renewed deal, Rodri has yet to give assurances, giving rise to rumors that he is ready for a new challenge at the Santiago Bernabeu.
According to journalist Ramón Álvarez de Mon, the dynamic behind this transfer saga has changed significantly. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, who previously opposed a move for the World Cup winner, is now reportedly supporting the official approach. The change in stance within the club hierarchy signals Los Blancos’ serious intention to strengthen their midfield with one of Europe’s most coveted talents.
Negotiations regarding personal terms are expected to proceed smoothly, as Rodri is believed to be keen on joining the Spanish giants. However, Real Madrid have made it clear that they will not pay over the odds for a player entering the final year of his contract. The club’s leadership are determined to reach a deal that reflects Rodri’s contractual situation rather than bowing to Manchester City’s increased demands.
Both clubs are now set to become one of the headline transfer battles of the summer, with all eyes on whether Real Madrid can secure the signature of Rodri and add further star power to their squad.
