The latest edition of El Clásico is playing out in the transfer market, with Barcelona reportedly now the favorites over Real Madrid to sign Manchester City and Spain midfielder Rodri.
Rodri is entering the final year of his Manchester City contract and renewal talks with the Sky Blues have effectively stalled. The 30-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move away from England, and after his sensational performance for Spain this summer that ended with claiming the 2026 World Cup and Golden Ball, interest in him has only intensified.
