Currently, one of the players on Real Madrid’s radar is Manchester City and Spain’s midfield stalwart, Rodri.
The 29-year-old midfield maestro perfectly fits the profile that Los Blancos are seeking, especially considering his contract, which runs until 2027, making him an attractive target.
Real Madrid is Cautious with Rodri Pursuit
However, as per Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid has no intention of making exorbitant offers to secure Rodri from Manchester City this summer.

However, the club is unlikely to break the bank for the Manchester City star due to his contract status, and any potential move will be contingent on the fee demanded for the midfielder.
Meanwhile, Manchester City is working diligently to secure the future of their pivotal midfielder. The club has already extended a new contract with an improved salary, believing he is returning to peak form after recovering from his ACL injury.
Ultimately, the decision now rests with Rodri regarding his future. If he chooses to sign a new deal, it would effectively end Real Madrid’s interest. However, if he opts against renewing, the club will remain interested—albeit if the financial conditions are favorable. If not, they might wait until 2027, when he would be available as a free agent.
