Meeting held with Rodri's agents
According to Sky Sports, Real Madrid representatives met with Rodri's agents at a restaurant near Madrid on Tuesday.
It is reported that potential transfer terms and the possibility of the player returning to Spain were discussed during the meeting.
Currently, the Madrid club is working on reaching an agreement on personal terms with Rodri and his representatives first.
Real Madrid may offer a contract until 2030
According to the source, Real Madrid is considering offering the 30-year-old midfielder a contract running until 2030.
It has been reported that Rodri himself is ready to return to Spain. However, the player's current contract with Manchester City runs until 2027.
The English club offered him a new deal a few weeks ago, but the parties have not yet reached a final decision on extending the contract.
No negotiations between clubs yet
At the moment, the transfer process is in its early stages.
Real Madrid has established contact with the player's representatives but has not yet submitted an official offer to Manchester City.
Therefore, Rodri's move to Madrid is not a settled matter yet. If personal terms are agreed upon with the player, negotiations between the clubs regarding the transfer fee could begin in the next stage.
How did Rodri perform last season?
The Spanish midfielder played 21 matches in the English Premier League last season and scored 1 goal.
In the 2026 World Cup, he participated in all 8 matches for the Spanish national team and was named the tournament's best player.

Rodri has become Real Madrid's main target
The Madrid club considers Rodri's candidacy a priority to strengthen the center of the midfield. The player's experience, ball control, and ability to dictate the tempo of the game could make him a vital transfer for Real Madrid.
However, the realization of the deal will depend on the player's final decision, Manchester City's position, and the potential transfer fee.
