Real Madrid eyes Manchester City’s Rodri for summer transfer
Real Madrid is reportedly setting its sights on Manchester City’s midfield maestro, Rodri, in a bid to bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
The Spanish giants, known for their penchant for acquiring top talents from the Premier League, have identified the versatile midfielder as the ideal replacement for the departing Toni Kroos.
According to sources from Spanish media outlet AS, Real Madrid views Rodri as a dream acquisition to strengthen their midfield.
The 25-year-old has been a key figure for Manchester City since his arrival from Atletico Madrid in 2019, commanding a reported fee of £62 million.
Rodri’s impact at the Etihad Stadium has been profound, making 256 appearances across all competitions, netting 26 goals, and providing 30 assists.
His consistency and tactical intelligence have been instrumental in City’s recent successes, notably in their latest Premier League triumph.
Despite Real Madrid’s interest, Manchester City considers Rodri non-negotiable, signaling their intention to retain the midfielder amidst any potential transfer speculation.
With an impressive season rating of 7.62/10 from WhoScored, Rodri emerged as one of the standout performers in the Premier League, further solidifying his importance to the Cityzens.
As the summer transfer window looms, the tug-of-war between Real Madrid and Manchester City over Rodri’s services intensifies.
While the allure of Los Blancos may be tempting, City fans will hope their midfield linchpin remains committed to the club’s pursuit of further glory.
