​Barcelona willing to spend up to €50 million to sign priority Real Madrid target – reportReal Madrid have had a blockbuster summer transfer window so far, signing the likes of Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konate, Bernardo Silva, Marc Cucurella and Carlos Espi.The club are still not done, trying to wrap up deals for Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig and Rodri from Manchester City.The Spanish midfielder is keen on returning to Spain this summer transfer window, and Jose Mourinho is personally pushing to sign him.Such was the confidence Los Blancos had in pulling off the Rodri deal that there were even suggestions he could take the No. 16 jersey at the club.Barcelona remain interested despite Madrid’s advantageNow, according to Nil Sola on Cadena SER, Barcelona are prepared to rival Real Madrid for the signing of Rodri if the Manchester City midfielder opens the door to a move to Camp Nou this summer.Rodri is a target for Barcelona.

It is unlikely to concern them either.Los Blancos have already made significant progress on the Rodri deal, including agreeing personal terms with him, and are in negotiations with Manchester City.Rather than look at Barça, who are in the rear-view mirror, the onus is now on Los Blancos to go ahead and wrap up a deal for Rodri as soon as they can.Unless the situation changes dramatically, this is still Madrid’s deal to lose, and it remains to be seen how Rodri’s future pans out.
