Rodri has played six games for SpainManchester City are in talks with Atletico Madrid to sign Spain midfielder Rodri and are willing to pay his £62.6m release clause. City boss Pep Guardiola is keen to sign a defensively minded player to bolster the Premier League champions' squad. Rodri, 22, who joined Atletico from Villarreal in May 2018, has been one of their main targets. If a transfer does go through, it would break the club-record £60m City paid Leicester for Riyad Mahrez a year ago. He would give Guardiola another option at left-back in addition to Oleksandr Zinchenko and Benjamin Mendy.
