Transfer: Real Madrid President, Perez Makes U-Turn on Rodri Deal

Real Madrid aims to sign Rodri this summer, motivated by his World Cup performance and desire to return home, while Manchester City begins contract extension discussions.

  • Real Madrid is preparing an offer for Rodri, with Los Blancos confident they can reach an agreement for the player's transfer. While no formal talks have occurred, Rodri has decided he is keen to make the move to Madrid.
  • Since the World Cup's conclusion, Real performed a U-turn and are now preparing an offer for City. Previously this summer, the club were adamant they were not willing to sign Rodri.
  • A Madrid native, the 30-year-old Rodri previously played for Atletico and believes the transfer suits his career and family. He is due to undergo back surgery this summer, which could rule him out for months.
  • Rodri is entering the final year of his City contract, and City is expected to enter talks over an extension this summer. Addressing transfer rumors, the coach said, "We have to say that around big players there are always speculation. I'm not worried about that, it's normal."
  • Reflecting on a return to Spain and Liga, Rodri stated in March he would like to play in Madrid, noting that having played for Atletico before would not prevent him from joining Real Madrid.
