Spain's prestigious Real Madrid sharpened its sword.
British media The Sun reported on the 24th (Korean time) 'Real Madrid has prepared a £100 million bid to recruit Rodri (Man City).'
Real Madrid are looking to regain their reputation in the new season. He did not win a single championship in major competitions in the 2024-2025 season. He bowed his head in Spain's Primera Liga, European Champions League (UCL), and Copa del Rey (King's Cup). Real Madrid missed out on all the top of a major tournament for the first time in four years since the 2020-2021 season. In the end, he broke up with Carlo Ancelotti, who had led the team. Coach Xavi Alonso took the helm of the new season.
It's not a good start. Alonso made his debut as Real Madrid head coach through the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. The grades were not satisfactory. In particular, they lost to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG, France) 0-4 in the semifinals.

The Sun made recruiting midfielders a top priority after Alonso lost to PSG. Rodri has been sidelined for a while due to injury. There is uncertainty about the condition of the body. It is one of the factors that Real Madrid should watch before recruiting Rodri. Depending on the situation, Rodri's price could drop significantly. Real Madrid, however, know that Man City have a chance of extending their contract if Rodri's physicality is maintained. Real Madrid expect Rodri to return to Spain.
Born in 1996, Rodri moved to Manchester City after playing for Villarreal and Atletico Madrid. Manchester City invested £62.8 million to sign Rodri in the summer 2019 transfer window.
The Sun said 'Alonso was surprised by the exposure of weaknesses in the midfielder match. I wanted to strengthen my options. Rodri is considered the perfect solution. Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola has faith in Rodri. It seems unlikely that Guardiola will sell Rodri. However, Real Madrid could try to sign at the end of the summer transfer window at the end of the year, it added.
