Rodri to Receive Carte Blanche as Atletico Madrid Prepare to Match Wage Offers From Suitors

Atletico Madrid are reportedly prepared to pay midfielder Rodri the same wages that are offered to him by a potential suitor.

The 22-year-old has earned a huge catalogue of admirers across Europe in his first season with Los Rojiblancos following a €25m switch from fellow Spaniards Villarreal last summer. Amongst the interested parties are Bayern Munich and Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola viewing the destroyer as a fine replacement for the ageing Fernandinho.

However, City and Bayern's financial muscle may be of little meaning when it comes to the signing of Rodri, with AS writing that his current employers will match any salary proposed by another club.
