Real Madrid are reportedly 'cooking' over a slow fire what could be one of the biggest transfer bombs of recent years. Manchester City have 115 accusations against them from the Premier League for irregularities in financial fair play, a legal problem that could seriously affect the future of the 'skyblue' club and the stay of several players in the team. A scenario that the Merengues would like to take advantage of.
And it is that in the offices of the Santiago Bernabéu they consider that if the Mancunian institution is declared guilty and receives a significant punishment, they could have the opportunity to make a move for Rodri Hernández. According to 'SPORT', the team led by Carlo Ancelotti would look very favorably on the incorporation of the Madrid native to the squad, while the midfielder, despite being very happy in Manchester, could be attracted by the idea of returning to the place of his origins.
However, the operation is extremely complex. Today, there is no club in the world that can afford to sign Rodri, who is increasingly essential to his team and to the Spanish national team, whose performances have led him to be one of the main candidates for the Ballon d'Or. His value has increased worldwide and he is a 'franchise player', a situation that the Real Madrid directors are aware of.
City is pushing to renew Rodri's contract
For their part, the offices of the Etihad Stadium are already making moves to improve the midfielder's contractual conditions. In this sense, the club has made him a proposal that would place him close to the current figures of Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland, placing him in the highest salary bracket of the team and the Premier League.
The player's contract expires in three years and for the moment he remains calm about his future, considering whether to sign the new agreement with the 'Citizens' and ruling out a possible change of scenery, or wait to see what happens with the resolution and make a decision based on this fact, either committing to City regardless of the verdict or waiting for a move from Madrid.
The date of the final verdict
Thus, for the moment all that remains is to wait for the resolution of the Mancunian case, which will not take place until January 2025. The investigation has been underway for months and rival clubs are still waiting to 'fish' in 'troubled waters' in the event of a major sanction, such as a significant loss of points or, in the worst case, a relegation. If one of these scenarios materialises, Madrid is waiting in the 'shadows' to close the signing of its great target for the midfield
