At the World Cup, Rodri once again impresses as the best player – and is reportedly putting Real Madrid on alert. But in truth, he stands in stark contrast to new coach Jose Mourinho’s idea.
Manchester City have confirmed that midfielder Rodri has undergone successful minor surgery to address an ongoing back issue following Spain's World Cup triumph. The club have also stated that Rodri is only facing a "short" recovery process, allaying any fears he could be sidelined for a significant period.
Paris Saint-Germain have thrown a surprise twist into the Rodri transfer saga, reportedly making contact with Manchester City to explore a move for the Spain international, just as Real Madrid appeared to be closing in on a deal for the World Cup-winning midfielder.
