Florentino Perez

The Blancos remain interested in the Manchester City midfielder but have prioritized completing the Ousmane Diomande deal. Meanwhile, the squad is full, and the club will need to release two players if both arrive.

Real Madrid is moving forward: President Florentino Perez has approved the pursuit of Rodri after months of inactivity. The club has initiated preliminary talks with Manchester City, signaling readiness to offer over 50 million euros for the midfielder.

Reports from Spain indicate that Real Madrid is pushing to sign newly crowned world champion Rodri, despite a back injury. Although his contract with Manchester City runs until 2027, the club aims to finalize the deal now at the request of Jose Mourinho.
