Rodri's Real Madrid Transfer on the Brink?

Rodri's much-discussed transfer from Manchester City to Real Madrid, a rumor since the end of last season, appears to be on the verge of collapse. According to "Sport," the Ballon d'Or winner was reportedly dissatisfied with Real Madrid's offer, leading to strained relations between the two parties. Negotiations are currently frozen, and the transfer now seems practically doomed. The publication suggests Real will attempt to restart talks, but it remains uncertain if they will succeed.

Rodri had expressed a desire to return to Spain, and recent reports indicated that Barcelona might also enter the race due to Frenkie de Jong's injury. However, Hansi Flick has made it clear he has no intention of signing a new midfielder, stating he has sufficient players in that position.

Manchester City is demanding around 65 million euros for the Spanish international, who was named the best player at the World Cup, and Rodri's salary expectations are also quite high. Meanwhile, the "Citizens" are in advanced negotiations for Lille talent Ayoub Bouaddi and have already announced the record-breaking transfer of Elliot Anderson, signaling their preparations for Rodri's departure.
