Real Madrid reportedly want to sign one of Manchester City’s star players this summer.
The Spanish club have a track record when it comes to signing big-name players from the Premier League such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard.
Even though the Blues have only just wrapped up their sixth Premier League title in seven years, one of their most important players has found themselves on Real’s radar for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Real Madrid eyeing dream transfer move for Man City star
According to a recent report from Spanish media outlet AS (via Sport Witness), Real see Rodri as a dream transfer target to replace the soon-departing Toni Kroos.
The report also adds that City consider the midfielder to be untouchable, therefore making a potential move to Real difficult.
City should not consider selling Rodri
City signed Rodri from Atletico Madrid back in the 2019 summer transfer window in a deal worth a reported fee of £62m.
Since then, the Spaniard has made 256 appearances for the Manchester club across all competitions, scoring 26 goals and providing 30 assists along the way.
After appearing in all but four of City’s games in their previous Treble-winning season, Rodri then went on to feature in 49 games across all competitions this time around, starting all of them.
In fact, having missed three Premier League games this season through suspension, those were the only three games City lost across the entire campaign.
His performances in the 34 league games he appeared in this season saw the Spain international earn himself an impressive season rating of 7.62/10 from WhoScored, making him the second-highest-rated player in the entire division.
Taking all of that into account, we think that City should not consider selling Rodri under any circumstances this summer or in any other transfer window for the foreseeable future.
