Rodri close to Real Madrid as captain nears transfer from Manchester City

Spain’s World Cup‑winning captain Rodri is edging closer to a transfer to Real Madrid from Manchester City this summer. Transfer Talk reports that negotiations are advancing and the deal appears increasingly likely.

The midfielder, who led the national side to recent triumphs, has been linked with the Spanish giants for several months. Manchester City’s camp has not issued an official statement, but the player’s representative indicated progress in talks.

Real Madrid’s hierarchy has expressed confidence that securing Rodri would bolster their midfield options. The move would reunite the captain with former teammates and fit the club’s strategic plans.

Supporters of both clubs await final confirmation as the summer window approaches.
