Real Madrid are planning to add Manchester City midfielder Rodri to their ranks next season, according to AS.
They are yet to find a proper replacement following the retirement of Toni Kroos and believe that Rodri's arrival could be what they are missing.
The 28-year-old won the 2024 Ballon d'Or award, after his impressive performances with City and Spain's national team.
Real are hoping to revitalize their midfield with the addition of the former Atletico Madrid midfielder.
Meanwhile, City are desperate to tie their most prized asset down long term, but the player in no rush to sign a renewal.
The reigning Premier League champions are surrounded by uncertainty over potential consequences of FFP infringements.
