Real Madrid pursues Rodri signing amid €20m transfer gap with Man City

Summary

Real Madrid is working to finalize two key signings before the 2026-27 season begins. The club is close to completing a deal for Yan Diomande and is now focused on Rodri, who has expressed a desire to leave Manchester City. Although reports confirm Rodri's agreement on personal terms with Madrid, Man City demands €80m for his transfer, significantly higher than Madrid's projected €50-60m offer. The situation is complicated by Rodri's contract, which has under a year left and his reluctance to renew with City. Madrid remains optimistic that the asking price may decrease as the summer progresses.
