Real Madrid have begun working on a move for Manchester City star

Spanish midfielder Rodri had an incredible 2026 World Cup and could now make the move to La Liga.

Details: According to insider David Ornstein, Real Madrid have begun working on a deal to bring Rodri to the club. The two sides have not yet opened negotiations, but the Spanish giants are currently working towards signing the midfielder this summer.

However, Manchester City themselves still hope that the Spain captain will remain in England and continue playing for the club.

We previously reported that despite his fitness issues, the midfielder played an important role in Spain's pursuit of the title and was awarded the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player. Now, one of the World Cup's biggest stars is once again sidelined.

Reminder: Manchester City are beginning to build the core of their squad for the long term. The Manchester City hierarchy are in talks over contract extensions.
