Real Madrid have identified Manchester City’s Rodri as the main objective for next season.
That’s according to AS, and they have ‘Rodri 2025’ splashed on the front page of today’s edition of the newspaper.
Real Madrid are set to sign Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies after this season. Their ‘big fish’ for next summer will be the Manchester City star.
Carlo Ancelotti, Los Blancos president Florentino Pérez and the club’s sporting leaders all share a ‘great dream’ of signing the midfielder.
AS state the 28-year-old would only leave Pep Guardiola’s side for the Champions League winners. He would be ‘very tempted’ to be part of the Spanish club’s project.
The Spain international has less than three years left on his deal. The report says he ‘only has two paths’ for the future; join Real Madrid or sign an extension.
It’s claimed the player would be ‘clear to take a radical turn’ in his career if Pep Guardiola were to leave the Etihad after this season.
Transfermarkt values him at €130m and the newspaper claims Real Madrid would need a fee around this region to sign him. Ancelotti’s side are moving cautiously and won’t take decisive steps anytime soon.
Rodri’s agent Pablo Barquero maintains a good relationship with the Spanish club. The representative has received calls from the Citizens to renew his contract. The report says ‘Rodri doesn’t rule it out’ as he can become one of the top earners at the Etihad.
Manchester City haven’t managed to convince Rodri to sign a new deal so far. Without a renewal, the Real Madrid links could continue to grow throughout the season.
