Rodri Hernández has reportedly communicated that his priority is to join Real Madrid, a stance that could facilitate negotiations between the Spanish giants and Manchester City.

The Spanish midfielder is said to have refused to consider offers from other clubs while he waits for the two institutions to reach a final agreement to complete his transfer.

A decision that changes the landscape

According to information from esRadio, Rodri has reportedly informed both Real Madrid and Manchester City that his priority is to join the Spanish giants.

The player is said to have ruled out listening to offers from other interested teams and requested that any negotiations over his future lead to the Santiago Bernabéu.

Clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona reportedly asked about the Spain international’s situation, but were informed that the player had already made his preference clear.

The price separating the clubs

The transfer could be completed for a fee between 65 and 75 million euros, depending on the variables included in the agreement.

Rodri is reportedly attempting to facilitate talks in order to reduce the final cost of the deal and allow both clubs to find common ground before the transfer window closes.

Negotiations enter a decisive stage

Although there is still no final agreement between the clubs, the player’s willingness could accelerate talks in the coming weeks.

Real Madrid must decide whether to meet Manchester City’s financial demands or attempt to lower the price by taking advantage of Rodri’s position.

For now, the deal remains open, but the reported verbal agreement and the preference expressed by the player place Real Madrid as the leading candidate to sign one of the most important midfielders in world soccer.
