Manchester City sets €75m price tag for Rodri amid Real Madrid interest

Manchester City have reportedly established their financial baseline for any potential departure of Rodri. The English side is said to be willing to open negotiations for the Spanish international only if an offer of at least €75 million is put on the table.

Real Madrid have emerged as the primary suitor for the World and European champion. However, according to reports, Los Blancos have currently only offered €50 million, creating a €25 million gap between the two clubs' valuations.

Rodri is currently recovering from back surgery, which will rule him out of the early stages of the new season, including the Super Cup and the opening rounds of the Premier League. He is expected to be available again in September, provided he has not completed a transfer to Spain by then.

The signing of the midfielder is seen as a priority for Real Madrid's current squad overhaul under new management, as they look to fill the creative void left by the departures of previous legendary figures. With his contract running until 2027, City remain in a strong position to dictate terms.
