Real Madrid have reportedly made their first official approach to Manchester City to discuss a potential summer transfer for midfielder Rodri. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, verbal discussions are already underway between the two European giants.

Los Blancos president Florentino Perez has given full approval to pursue the Spain international. Based on reports, Real Madrid are prepared to offer over €50m to secure the services of the 2026 World Cup winner.

Manchester City find themselves in a vulnerable negotiating position as Rodri's current contract enters its final year. The 30-year-old midfielder has established himself as a cornerstone of the squad since arriving from Atletico Madrid in 2019.

While Rodri recovers from minor back surgery following Spain's World Cup triumph, his future remains uncertain. If the transfer proceeds, his arrival in Madrid could trigger the departure of midfielders like Aurelien Tchouameni or Eduardo Camavinga.
