Atlético de Madrid has entered the race to sign Rodri, a 30-year-old midfielder from Manchester City, in this summer transfer market, where the colchonero team could make a big move to win LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League.

The rojiblanco club is seeking the signing of the Spanish international, who refuses to renew a contract expiring in June 2027, accelerating his exit from England following Pep Guardiola's departure and the appointment of Enzo Maresca.

Atlético de Madrid Wants to Sign Rodri

Atlético de Madrid's sports management is working on the return of a player who previously played for the colchonero team and was transferred to the British team in the summer of 2019 for 70 million euros. During his previous time in the Spanish capital, the midfielder played a total of 47 official matches, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist.

The player views positively the opportunity to return to LaLiga to face the final stage of his career after winning all possible titles in the Premier League. His current value is supported by his leadership in the 2026 World Cup, where he became champion with Spain and received the competition's MVP award.

Diego Pablo Simeone has formally requested his signing at the Metropolitano offices to restructure the midfield and give him tactical control of the team. The coaching staff's intention is for the Madrid native to serve as the main organizational axis in a position where he will share responsibilities with players like Koke, Pablo Barrios, and Obed Vargas.

The Manchester City's Stance on Rodri's Sale

The change in the Etihad Stadium's bench, determined by this summer's technical turnover, has altered the British squad's mid-term plans. With Rodri's firm decision not to extend his contract beyond 2027, the SkyBlues' board prioritizes an immediate sale to prevent him from leaving for free next year.

The player's valuation remains high due to his individual achievements of this month, but the contractual deadline pressure forces the English team to consider offers. The Madrid-based club will compete in the market with other European powerhouses also monitoring the situation of the Madrid midfielder.

Next Steps to Sign Rodri

Atlético de Madrid's executives are preparing the structure of the first formal offer they will present in Manchester during the next week of July. The Spanish club needs to adjust its wage bill before setting the conditions for the footballer's new contract.

The final progress of the operation will depend on the meetings that Rodri's agents will have with Enzo Maresca's management to set the definitive exit price and assess Real Madrid's real interest, as they also monitor the midfielder.
