Rodri's Move to Real Madrid on the Brink of Collapse as Barcelona Enters the Race

Negotiations for Spanish star Rodri's transfer to Real Madrid have taken an unexpected turn, as talks between the two parties have reached an impasse due to a failure to agree on the personal terms of the contract.

According to Spanish newspaper "Sport", the deal is currently almost stalled, as Real Madrid's proposal did not convince Manchester City player Rodri, despite his earlier willingness to sign a four-year contract.

Reports indicate that negotiations have faced significant tension in recent hours, resulting in a temporary freeze.

The report clarified that the relationship between Rodri and Real Madrid has not been easy from the outset, as the royal club's management hesitated for a long time before entering negotiations. Meanwhile, the player felt a lack of appreciation from the club following his Ballon d'Or win, which cast a shadow over the discussions.

The newspaper reported that Barcelona has entered the race to sign the player, having inquired about the terms of the deal from the Spanish star's representatives, even though coach Hans Flick does not consider strengthening the midfield a priority at this time. However, Barcelona's management is monitoring the situation in anticipation of any opportunities that may arise in the coming weeks.

Manchester City is asking for €65 million to agree to sell Rodri, while the player's high salary remains one of the main obstacles for any club looking to sign him. Despite the stalled negotiations, the transfer market is still open, keeping all possibilities alive, whether it's resuming talks with Real Madrid or another club entering the negotiations.
