Real Madrid is preparing to make a £ 100 million offer to attract Man City's Rodri star to the Bernabeu in the summer transfer window this year.
The new coach Xabi Alonso determined that the Spanish midfielder was a top priority target after the Royal team was buried by PSG in the semi -final FIFA Club World Cup 2025 earlier this month.
Although coach Pep Guardiola certainly did not want to lose the “heart” in the middle, the person who had been absent most of the previous season and was a big cause of Man City dropped the Premier League, but Real believed that a huge offer could cause the Etihad team to think.
Rodri, 29, an anterior ligament injury (ACL) and the meniscus (Meniscus) in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal in September last year, and had to sit outside almost the whole season. He only had 1 main kick and 3 times from the bench at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, including the match that Man City was defeated by Al Hilal at the 1/8 round. This is the match that Rodri only played 37 minutes before the relapse of injury.
The uncertainty of Rodri's current condition is a factor that can cause Real Madrid to consider “waiting”, especially when his contract with Man City is valid until 2027. If waiting for another year, Real can carefully assess the physical condition of Rodri, while his transfer price will also drop significantly when the contract entered the last two years.
However, coach Alonso is said to be forcing the Real Madrid leadership to propose right from this summer. He understood that if Rodri regained his stable performance and physical condition, Man City would quickly tie his feet with a new long -term contract.
Real believes that Rodri, who played for Atletico Madrid and was born in Madrid, will be ready to return to “home”, after moving to the Premier League for £ 62.8 million 6 years ago.
Man City has recruited Nico Gonzalez from Porto for £ 50 million in January, and added Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders before the FIFA Club World Cup, and the latest talent of the Norwegian Norway Sverre Nypan last week. However, the complete replacement of Rodri is still a big question mark. Guardiola was almost certain that he would not want to sell such a pillar, but Real Madrid was ready to “stole” this midfielder in the last weeks of the summer transfer window 2025.
