New Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca is desperate to retain his talisman, but Rodri’s refusal to sign an extension has forced the club’s hand.

The news is likely to be met with immense satisfaction by Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho, who has identified Rodri as the indispensable anchor needed to solidify his tactical spine. The midfielder’s ability to control tempos and dictate play out from the centre is seen as the ideal evolutionary step for the squad. These are the exact qualities this Real Madrid team has lacked in the past couple of seasons following Toni Kroos’ retirement. While the midfielder is concurrently preparing to undergo surgery to address a persistent back issue, Real Madrid do not seem to be majorly concerned. As such, they are intent on concluding the fee negotiations with Manchester City rapidly to ensure his integration ahead of a demanding season.
