Real Madrid and Barcelona are interested in signing Rodri from Manchester City in the summer transfer window, according to Fichajes. The Spanish news outlet has claimed that Madrid, who have long wanted to sign the Spain international, believe that they could be able to sign Rodri for €50 million, but La Liga rivals Barcelona have now joined the race.
Fichajes has noted: ‘Just when Real Madrid seemed the most likely destination, FC Barcelona entered the competition.
‘The Blaugrana club has taken note of the potential release clause and the player’s contractual situation, believing they cannot stay on the sidelines.
‘Furthermore, rumours indicating Rodri’s possible affinity for the Barcelona project have raised alarms at Camp Nou.
‘If there is even a slight chance of convincing the player, Barca is willing to compete.
‘The sports department sees his profile as a strategic piece to strengthen the midfield.
‘Rodri would bring balance, experience, and leadership to a key position.
‘The opportunity to bring in a Ballon d’Or winner for an amount less than his real value is seen as a market opportunity that is hard to come by.’
