Real Madrid and Manchester City at impasse over Rodri transfer fee
Manchester City has set a price of €70‑75 million for midfielder Rodri, while Real Madrid is prepared to meet a lower valuation of around €50‑55 million. The Spanish club remains the front‑runner to sign the 30‑year‑old, whose contract with City runs until 2027, but the English side refuses to lower its asking price, insisting on a full fee plus possible variables.
Rodri has indicated a desire to leave Manchester City and join Real Madrid, yet the stalemate has prompted Barcelona to signal interest, especially after a knee injury to Frenkie de Jong opened a midfield vacancy. Barcelona’s reported willingness to meet a €50 million fee adds further pressure to the negotiations.
Meanwhile, Manchester City is advancing a separate deal for 18‑year‑old Moroccan midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille, positioning him as a potential replacement for Rodri should the transfer to Madrid fall through. The Bouaddi talks are at a verbal‑agreement stage, with a reported price near €100 million, but the club’s primary focus remains the Rodri saga.
