Unconfirmed reports suggest that discussions have begun between Real Madrid and Manchester City over the transfer of Rodri. The midfielder has emerged as a top target for the squad and talks are reportedly progressing as the two clubs explore whether there is a deal to be done for the player. Talks are underway, and with no competition emerging, Real Madrid are seen as the sole contenders for the player's signature. So far this season, Real Madrid are steady at both ends (2.13 goals scored per game, 0.78 goals conceded per game). The role for Rodri would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Manchester City have also been linked with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Sandro Tonali and Sverre Halseth Nypan while Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring Eli Kroupi Jr, Leny Yoro and Myles Lewis-Skelly.
