Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has reportedly softened his stance on a potential move for Manchester City midfielder Rodri, reopening the possibility of the Spain international joining the Spanish giants.
Perez was previously said to have ruled out pursuing the midfielder, but recent reports indicate he is now more receptive to the idea of signing him.
Despite the apparent shift in position, Spanish outlet Marca reports that no formal negotiations have taken place between Real Madrid and Manchester City over a possible transfer.
However, there is growing optimism that Rodri could become the club’s marquee signing this summer.
Madrid view the Spain captain as the ideal player to become the new leader of its midfield, a position the club considers a top priority to strengthen.
Meanwhile, Manchester City has no intention of giving up easily.
