Revealed: Real Madrid hold secret meeting with Manchester City superstar’s agents
Revealed: Real Madrid hold secret meeting with Manchester City superstar’s agents Talk of a potential transfer for Rodri to Real Madrid has intensified in recent days. Those developments come as Manchester City continue to aim to renew the player’s contract, which currently runs until 2027. The FIFA World Cup-winning captain with Spain has attracted Real’s attention with his Player of the Tournament performances this summer. The agents of Manchester City’s Rodri have reportedly engaged in a secret meeting with Real Madrid this week amid growing talk of a move to the Bernabeu. The 30-year-old is fresh off the back of captaining Spain to FIFA World Cup success in North America this summer, claiming the Player of the Tournament title after the 1-0 win over Argentina in this month’s Final in New York. Rodri came into the tournament with lingering doubts over his fitness after a stop-start campaign with Manchester City last season, with the midfielder continuing to develop his strength off the back of an ACL injury in 2024. But with the player arguably performing at the highest levels seen since his Ballon d’Or winning calendar year, Real Madrid officials are looking to push for his signing despite a common feeling that club president Florentino Perez is against the idea. Rodri’s agents hold secret Real Madrid meeting Now, according to journalist Patrick Berger , Rodri to Real Madrid this summer is now ‘heating up’ after a secret meeting between the La Liga giants and the player’s agents took place on Tuesday afternoon at a restaurant in Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid. It is claimed that Real Madrid’s board have now decided to go for the Manchester City superstar as one of their top targets this summer, and are prepared to offer a contract until 2030 whilst simultaneously working on an agreement around personal terms. As for Rodri himself, the midfielder is said to be keen on a move back to Spain, although for now, no direct talks have yet taken place between Real Madrid officials and the relevant counterparts at Manchester City. How are Man City approaching the ongoing doubts? Manchester City will no doubt be covering themselves in case of Rodri departing for Real Madrid this summer, and have already secured the services of Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest in a £116 million agreement. There is also believed to be strong interest in Lille and Morocco international starlet Ayyoub Bouaddi , with the French club targeting an eye-watering €100 million transfer fee in the event of an exit this summer for the 18-year-old. City are likely to want to bring the North African to the Etihad Stadium this season, particularly in the event of Rodri’s possible exit, despite claims of a potential immediate loan back to the French club for the forthcoming season.
