According to Spanish radio Onda Cero, Manchester City are keen on Atletico Madrid midfielder Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante ahead of the summer transfer window, and are prepared to pay his £60million buy-out clause.
The holding midfielder only arrived Wanda Metropolitano from Villa Real last summer, but has already established himself as a key player under Diego Simeone, featuring in 38 games across all competitions, and City boss Pep Guardiola is said to be a huge admirer.
The Spanish manager is lining up a replacement for the ageing Fernandinho, and Rodri is seen as a perfect replacement.
