Barcelona's Rodri pursuit affects Manchester United's Tchouameni hopes

Summary

Barcelona has entered the race for Manchester City midfielder Rodri, a target for Real Madrid. As a result, if Barcelona successfully signs Rodri, Aurelien Tchouameni is likely to remain with Real Madrid for the upcoming season. Manchester United had been considering a move for Tchouameni, but may now face challenges in securing him. United's transfer activity has been minimal, with no recent signings since acquiring Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa earlier in July. The club is set to start their season against Hull City on August 22.
