According to AS editor-in-chief José Félix Díaz, Manchester City midfielder Rodri Hernández is determined to return to La Liga and join Real Madrid. The 30-year-old World Cup Golden Ball winner has rejected a contract renewal offer from Manchester City and an invitation from Paris Saint-Germain. Real Madrid's management, initially opposed, has now shifted to supporting the deal after Rodri's strong World Cup performances. The club hopes to complete the transfer for between 40 and 50 million euros, with total costs including salary estimated at around 100 million euros. Personal terms are reportedly agreed, and open negotiations with Manchester City have begun. If the transfer is finalized, a current Real Madrid midfielder may leave due to squad spot limitations.
