Real Madrid are ready to make a staggering £130m bid to sign Rodri from Manchester City. If the deal goes through, it would be one of the biggest moves in European football in recent years, according to reports. Daily Star.
The Real Madrid board believes this amount is adequate to secure the central midfielder that Xabi Alonso considers essential for his new project at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Manchester City are not willing to let go of their key midfield player. Rodri has been a fundamental part of Pep Guardiola's system and has a contract until 2027. Real Madrid know that only a really high offer can convince the English club to change their mind.
In recent months, Real Madrid had considered offers close to £100 million, but are now ready to raise the amount to £130 million to close the deal as quickly as possible.
Rodri is much more than a central midfielder. He controls the pace of the game, protects the defense and creates danger with his passes. Real Madrid see him as the ideal choice for the center of midfield.
Furthermore, his Premier League experience and leadership at Manchester City make him a safe bet to dominate the midfield for many years to come. Signing Rodri would be a major move and a clear show of strength from the "royal" club.
The operation will not be easy. Rodri suffered a knee injury in 2024, and Manchester City want to be careful with his return. However, Real Madrid are confident in his full recovery and ability to perform at the highest level. It should also be noted that Florentino Pérez is usually cautious about large expenditures, but he knows that this signing could mark a new era for the club.
If the deal is finalized, it could bring other changes to the squad, including the departure of several players to balance the budget.
A £130m move for Rodri would send a clear message across Europe: Real Madrid aim to remain the most powerful club in the world. The Madrid-born Spanish midfielder would represent not only a sporting boost but also a symbol of identity and ambition.
Real Madrid fans are eagerly awaiting official confirmation, aware that Rodri's arrival could change the course of next season. At the moment, rumors are circulating and talks are still ongoing.
Real Madrid could make the biggest move of the year. The "white" club is showing once again that, when it comes to signing the best, Real Madrid knows no boundaries./Express newspaper/
