Manchester City target Rodri has told Atletico Madrid that he wants to leave the club.
The midfielder was given a week to decide his future after at least two clubs indicated they would be willing to meet his buyout clause.
Rodri and his representatives have now told Atletico CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin he wants to talk to other clubs.
Manchester City and Bayern Munich are the teams keen on signing him, with Rodri’s buyout clause set at €70m (£62.5m).
Sky Sports News reported earlier this month Rodri was City’s top midfield target as they seek competition, and an eventual replacement, for Fernandinho.
Atletico signed Rodri for €25m (£22m) last summer from Villarreal.
