Real Madrid Hold Secret Meeting With Rodri's Agents

Real Madrid have reportedly made a definitive decision to pursue a move for Manchester City midfielder Rodri. According to reports, club president Florentino Perez, who was initially skeptical about the deal, has shifted his stance, leading the board to prioritize the transfer.

Madrid view Rodri as the ideal successor to the role left by Toni Kroos, who retired two years ago. The Spanish giants are currently preparing a contract offer that would run until 2030 and are working to finalize personal terms with the player.

However, the deal faces a substantial financial obstacle. While Manchester City are holding out for a fee in the region of 100 million euros, reports suggest Real Madrid are unwilling to exceed 60 million euros.

Despite this valuation gap, Sky Sports indicates that the possibility of a move this summer is gaining momentum. A recent secret meeting between club officials and the player's representatives in Madrid has reaffirmed the club's resolve to continue working on the transfer.
