Real Madrid have reportedly been given a major boost in their long-standing pursuit of midfielder Rodri.
The Manchester City star has been one of Madrid’s biggest transfer dreams for years, especially after the departure of key midfield leaders in recent seasons.
Why this matters
Rodri is seen as the perfect replacement profile for control and balance in midfield
Madrid have followed him for a long time but previously saw him as unattainable
New circumstances now suggest a possible opening for a future move
The situation
Manchester City still consider him a key player and do not want to sell, but reports suggest that if conditions change, a transfer could become realistic.
Bottom line
Rodri remains a dream target for Real Madrid — and now, for the first time, that dream looks slightly more possible than before.
