Bayern Munich was one of several clubs, alongside PSG, to show interest in Manchester City's 30-year-old Spanish midfielder Rodri, who has one year remaining on his contract. However, Bayern has ended its attempt to sign him after becoming aware of the player's desire to join Real Madrid as his only destination if he were to leave Manchester.
The Spanish international has 70 caps and 4 goals for his country and a current market value estimated by Transfermarkt at €55.00m. In July and August 2026, reports indicated Real Madrid made a verbal offer of €50 million, with Manchester City's asking price reported at figures ranging from €70 million to €100 million.
