Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has reversed his earlier stance on bringing Rodri to the club from Manchester City. Perez had initially blocked any move for the Spanish midfielder.
According to Marca, Real Madrid and Manchester City haven't started formal talks yet. Still, optimism is building that Rodri could land at the Bernabéu this summer.
The Spanish club sees Rodri as their top target to lead the midfield and fill what they view as a critical weakness. His arrival would signal a major statement of intent from the La Liga giants.
Manchester City, however, isn't ready to let their star go without a fight. The English champions will likely demand a significant fee before parting with one of their most valuable assets.
