Real Madrid is preparing a £100 million offer for Manchester City midfielder Rodri, Ballon d’Or winner, reports The Sun.
The Spanish club sees the 29-year-old as the ideal replacement for Toni Kroos, whose absence is still felt in the “Los Blancos” midfield.
Rodri is under contract with Manchester City until the summer of 2027, but so far he has hesitated to accept an extension. City now faces a crucial decision: either renew his contract now or consider selling him to avoid a drop in his market value later.
Recent reports from England and Spain indicate that the English club is working to keep Rodri, but Real Madrid is ready to take advantage of any uncertainty.
The La Liga giants will not target another midfielder if they fail to land Rodri, whom they see as the perfect mix of leadership, defensive solidity, and vision on the pitch.
This has sparked speculation about a possible departure, especially since next summer he will be entering the final two years of his contract.
