Manchester City are reportedly ready to pay the €70 million release clause in the contract of Atletico Madrid midfielder Rodri this summer.
According to Sam Lee of Goal, the Premier League outfit have made the Spain international their "priority midfield target" and are ready to spend big in order to get a deal done.
The trigger amount in Rodri's contract was established when Atletico signed him from Villarreal last summer. It's said City sporting director Txiki Begiristain travelled to Madrid to watch the player in action on Tuesday when Atletico faced Girona in La Liga and won 2-0.
