Real Madrid plans to pursue Manchester City’s midfielder Rodri next year. Currently valued at around £109 million, Rodri has a contract with City until 2027. However, this price is within the financial reach of Real Madrid, especially after their recent signing of Kylian Mbappe and last year’s acquisition of Jude Bellingham for £115 million. Rodri has been crucial to City’s recent success, and last year, he finished fifth in the Ballon d’Or rankings, highlighting his importance on the global football stage.
Rodri was a key figure in helping Manchester City secure their fourth consecutive Premier League title before winning Euro 2024 with Spain. His standout performances have attracted the interest of Real Madrid, who are looking for a long-term replacement for Toni Kroos. Madrid is planning to pursue Rodri next summer, as the midfielder, a Madrid native, may find a move to Santiago Bernabeu appealing. However, Real Madrid will face competition, as Manchester City has reportedly offered Rodri a new contract worth £375,000 per week.
