Jose Mourinho is reportedly pushing for Manchester City midfielder Rodri to be his first signing in his upcoming second stint as head coach of Real Madrid. The 29-year-old, who recently won the 2024 Ballon d'Or, is entering the last year of his contract, leading to speculation about his future. Manchester City is attempting to secure Rodri's commitment with a longer contract, but he could be available for around €60 million.

In other transfer news, Chelsea and Liverpool are both interested in Sunderland goalkeeper Robin Roefs, who has impressed since joining from NEC Nijmegen for £9 million and is now valued at £50 million. Meanwhile, Real Madrid's long-serving captain Dani Carvajal will leave the club at the end of his contract this summer after winning 26 trophies in 14 years.

Additionally, Manchester United's Marcus Rashford may return to Aston Villa, contingent on a €30 million clause in his loan deal with Barcelona. Newcastle United is reportedly seeking £80 million for midfielder Sandro Tonali, who has drawn interest from both Arsenal and Manchester United.
