MB reported that Real Madrid has taken the first step in their ambition to pull Rodri away from Pep Guardiola.

However, according to this source, President Perez is just taking a probing action towards Man City , with an offer that is causing controversy: 50 million euros in cash plus Rodrygo. Pep's team of course sneered at this offer.

Real Madrid know Man City are interested in Rodrygo and they want to use the Brazilian star (who is said to not be in Xabi Alonso's plans) as a bargaining chip to reduce the transfer fee in the Rodri deal.

According to the Spanish press, Xabi Alonso identified Rodri as a must-have in the squad to find a new winning formula for Real Madrid. President Perez himself is also very "addicted" to Rodri and believes that the Man City midfielder is completely suitable for all the strict requirements of the Vultures.

Rodri has proven to be a vital pillar in Pep Guardiola's system. Man City were miserable, losing miserably without him for almost the entire season last year, due to a serious injury in September last year and only recently returning, being used sparingly by Pep in the FIFA Club World Cup.

Man City have no intention of losing Rodri, who still has 2 years left on his contract. Some sources of information, the Etihad team is aiming for a new long-term contract with the 29-year-old midfielder.

But Real Madrid has no intention of giving up on the 2024 Ballon d'Or, if it's not possible this year then wait until next summer.
