Real Madrid plotting a move for the best Premier League midfielder

Real Madrid has one of the best squads in Europe. They also won the Champions League last year. This year, they added Kylian Mbappe to their ranks. Also, they have the likes of Vinicius and Rodrygo along with Camavinga and the rest. That is why they are among the best teams in Europe.

But, if you talk about the best team in Europe performance-wise, you have to mention Manchester City. They have been performing at the top level for the last five to six years. And, one of the key players for Manchester City during their successful run is Rodri.

The Spaniard also played the most vital role in securing the Euro for his national team. That is why he is also a contender to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or. There is no doubt that Rodri is the best midfielder in the Premier League and the best number six in the world right now.

That is why he has caught the eyes of the Los Blancos. Yes, Real Madrid is plotting a move to sign Rodri from Manchester City according to the Spanish outlet AS. Carlo Ancelotti is an admirer of the 28-year-old midfielder. But, signing Rodri from Man City will not be easy for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid eyes Rodri but City is offering a new contract

The current contract of Rodri with Manchester City will end in 2027. Manchester City knows that Rodri is one of the most sought-after players. And, they will be aware of the intentions of Real Madrid. So, the Citizens will not want to lose their best player to their European rivals.

That is why according to Daily Mail, Manchester City is ready to offer a new contract to Rodri with a pay raise. This will take his salary beyond £ 300k a week. This will make things challenging for Real Madrid to sign Rodri as they would have to match City’s salary. So, it will be interesting to see how things unfold in this transfer saga.
