Manchester City midfielder Rodri is reportedly on Real Madrid’s radar once more, with the Spanish giants prepared to part with €150 million (£130m/$175m) in order to bring the midfielder onto their books.

Jack Grealish has been backed for an England recall by Michael Owen following his flying start to life on loan at Everton.

However, things have gone south since then.
