Kicker have really been pushing Bayern Munich transfer business over the past week, more so than other outlets in Germany.
First, it was they who went big on Leroy Sane, and they continue to do so, and now they’re reporting interest in Rodri.
Bayern ‘want’ the Atletico Madrid player, according to the report, as Pep Guardiola tries to ‘lure’ him to Manchester City.
It’s claimed Real Madrid and Barcelona are ‘campaigning’ for his signing, but it’s worth pointing out this isn’t really a theme in the Spanish media. Barcelona have been linked, but it’s thought they’ll spend their money elsewhere, and there’s been noting on Zinedine Zidane’s side.
SportBild are backing it up, claiming Hasan Salihamidzic’s recent trip to Madrid was because of interest in Rodri, with Bayern looking for a No. 6.
AS in Spain have picked it up, and they say it’ll be difficult for the German club, because the midfielder’s move to Manchester City ‘seems to be quite advanced’.
