Real Madrid are planning a move for Manchester City midfielder Rodri.
BILD says Real Madrid see Rodri as the player to fill the void left by the retirement of Toni Kroos last summer.
Many inside Real believe they've failed to cover Kroos' departure and view Rodri as an ideal replacement.
The Spain international is the current Ballon d'Or winner and on his way back from ACL surgery he underwent in August.
For their part, City are reluctant to consider any summer sale, though Rodri has stated he sees himself playing again in La Liga before the end of his career.
