Rodri stands out for his ability to control the pace of the game in central midfield and provide a balance between defense and attack.

The fact that he is the captain of the Spain national team also demonstrates the player's leadership qualities. Real may be aiming to further strengthen its central line through an experienced and high-level midfielder.

However, the financial terms of the transfer, Rodri's personal stance, and Manchester City's potential asking price have not been disclosed yet.

Decisive negotiations are still ahead
