💥Everyone wants him: Barça join Real Madrid in race for Rodri | OneFootball

Real Madrid lead the race to secure the services of Rodri Hernández, Manchester City’s midfielder. The Spanish giants are said to have already reached a verbal agreement with the Spain international, whose contract situation opens the door to a move as early as this summer.

Barcelona enter the race, PSG are weighing it up

Despite Madrid’s lead, FC Barcelona are considering joining the pursuit to lure the holding midfielder following Frenkie de Jong’s recent injury. Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain’s board are weighing whether to step in and become actively involved in the negotiations in an attempt to change the course of the transfer.

A unique opportunity on the market

Although PSG had not planned to sign a defensive midfielder in this transfer window, the situation of the World Cup winner — who has just one year left on his contract with the English club — represents an irresistible strategic opportunity for Europe’s top clubs. For now, however, Real Madrid hold a slight advantage, as they are believed to already have an agreement in place with the City player.
