Real Madrid have made a major breakthrough in their pursuit of Rodri, with multiple reports confirming that Manchester City have accepted their latest bid for the player. The midfielder is now locked in personal discussions with the buying side as they look to get a deal done as quickly as they can. While key details still need resolving, the player's move now appears to be a matter of “when”, not “if”. Negotiations are still active, and with no other teams linked, Real Madrid appear to have a clear path to completing the deal. Real Madrid look balanced this season - 2.0 goals scored and 0.92 goals conceded per game. Rodri would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Alongside this, Manchester City are said to be exploring Malo Gusto, Marc Cucurella and Eli Kroupi Jr with Real Madrid likewise connected to Riccardo Calafiori, Ivan Fresneda and Pedro Porro.
