Manchester City have overtaken Premier League rivals, Manchester United, in the race to sign Atletico Madrid star, Rodri.
According to Sky Sports, the Premier League champions have agreed to pay Rodri’s £63million release clause to Atletico.
The report claimed that Man City boss, Pep Guardiola, has identified the 22-year-old as a long-term replacement for 34-year-old Fernandinho at Etihad.
The report also claimed that the Spain international has told Atletico Madrid’s president, Angel Gil Marin, that he wants to leave the club this summer after manager, Diego Simeone, attempted to persuade the midfielder to stay at the club for another season.
