Real Madrid is likely to try and sign Rodri this summer, Spanish media report.

The midfielder’s contract with Manchester City runs until the summer of 2027. Even though City have offered him a new deal for another two years, he hasn’t signed it yet.

Real’s interest in Rodri has been around for a while, and the player might decide to return to his home country.

The club is closely monitoring his physical condition and recovery after the serious knee injury that sidelined him for an extended period.

While Vitinha from PSG remains Real’s primary target, they realize it’s nearly impossible to sign him at the moment. That makes Rodri a more realistic alternative.
