Real Madrid are reportedly confident of agreeing a deal to sign Manchester City midfielder Rodri, with the two clubs said to be meeting on Thursday to finalise terms. The report is part of a wider round-up of transfer speculation involving several Premier League and European clubs as the summer window continues, though none of the stories are confirmed by the clubs involved.

Madrid are said to be ready to pay €40-50m (£34m-£43m) for the 30-year-old Spain international, who has one year left on his City contract. Elsewhere, Inter Milan could revive interest in Liverpool's Curtis Jones, while John Stones' free transfer to Inter may hinder Tottenham's Cristian Romero joining the Italian club. Juventus have reportedly agreed to sign Randal Kolo Muani from Paris St-Germain on a loan-to-buy deal worth up to €50m, Aston Villa have had a €30m bid for Palmeiras' Allan rejected, and other clubs linked with moves include Brentford, Hull City, Fulham, Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town.
