Rodri, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona
Thursday
Real Madrid’s talks to sign Rodri have stalled over personal terms and the clubs’ differing valuations. Barcelona are monitoring the situation and could enter the race, while the Manchester City midfielder remains interested in returning to Spain this summer.
Madrid are considering one final attempt after Rodri expressed concerns about their offer and Jose Mourinho’s initial doubts. City want between €65m and €75m, while Barcelona have made no formal bid and still prioritise a centre-forward.
