Real Madrid has changed its market stance and is actively working on the signing of Rodri, a 30-year-old midfielder from Manchester City, for this summer. The Real Madrid transfer market has a new target at the request of Mourinho.

Although formal negotiations between both entities have not yet begun, the board led by Florentino Pérez is confident in reaching an agreement for the Spanish international, whose current contract in England expires in June 2027.

Real Madrid changes plans with Rodri

Real Madrid's sporting direction had previously ruled out the arrival of the midfielder due to a standard policy of not making significant investments in players close to their thirties. However, his stellar performance in winning the 2026 World Cup with the Spanish national team—where he played 8 games as captain, winning the tournament's Golden Ball—motivated the club's leadership to reconsider the deal. The player fits the request of coach José Mourinho to provide balance in the midfield.

The midfielder has amassed a total of 298 matches, 28 goals, and 32 assists in seven seasons with the British team since his arrival in 2019. After recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered in 2024 and making 33 appearances last season, Madrid acknowledges the physical risk of his recent history, coupled with a back operation he will undergo before starting his holidays.

Manchester City's restructure in response to the player's stance

At Manchester City, coach Enzo Maresca faces the possible loss of his captain, who has shown little interest in accepting the renewal offers presented at Old Trafford. The midfielder has publicly expressed his desire to return to LaLiga, hence his departure would add to the exits of veterans like John Stones and Bernardo Silva, the latter joining the white squad after his contract expired.

To offset the gap in midfield, the Manchester club spent 116 million pounds (155 million dollars) on Elliot Anderson and intensified efforts to secure the young talent Ayyoub Bouaddi, an 18-year-old from Lille. Additionally, the coaching staff internally considers Nico González as a rotation alternative following the departure of the Madrid native.

The player will undergo back surgery before starting his summer break.

The Real Madrid and Manchester City boards plan to have initial official contacts during the first weeks of August 2026, once the player progresses in rehabilitation and the English club defines the final transfer fee.
