Breaking: Man City land £70m Atletico man ahead new EPL season

Manchester City are set to sign Spain midfielder Rodri from Atletico Madrid for a club record £62.6m after paying his release clause, says the La Liga side.

Atletico said that the player’s lawyers and representatives from City paid the release clause to La Liga on Wednesday.

Rodri, 23, has therefore terminated his contract with Atletico, which was due to run until June 2023.

It will beat City’s previous record of £60m in signing Riyad Mahrez in 2018.
