Manchester City are reportedly bracing themselves for a huge bid from Real Madrid for one of their star players.

La Liga giants Real Madrid are reportedly plotting a big move to sign Manchester City star Rodri.

City boss Pep Guardiola has led his team to three wins from their opening three games, and while Rodri is yet to feature this season, there is no understating his importance to the champions.

After his Euro 2024 exertions with the Spanish national team, the 28-year-old was given a little extra time off to recover, and his importance to his team and his manager will once again be in evidence after the international break.

According to Fichajes, Los Blancos president Florentino Perez has made the €130m-rated star his top target for 2025.

Rodri is a rare gem that's impossible to replace, and that's why Real Madrid's reported interest in signing him next summer may be met with resistance from the Etihad Stadium.

But here's the twist: Pep Guardiola's own future at City could hold the key to Rodri's decision. Will the Spanish tactician stay or go in 2025?

His choice may influence Rodri's next move, making this transfer saga one to watch
