Rodri Set to Join Man City From Atletico Madrid in £63m Deal in the Next '24 Hours'

Manchester City have been tipped to confirm the £63m signing of Atletico Madrid star Rodri in the next 24 hours.

The 22-year-old has long been high on Pep Guardiola's wish list and, after Atletico completed the signing of Real Madrid's Marcos Llorente, it is thought that Rodri is nearing a move away from the Wanda Metropolitano.

The Daily Mail claim that City are incredibly close to completing a deal for Rodri, adding that the move could be confirmed on Monday.

City's director of football Txiki Begiristain has been in negotiations with Rodri for months after agreeing to pay his £63m release clause, and the Spanish midfielder is said to have verbally agreed to a long-term contract at the Etihad Stadium.
