Real Madrid pursues Rodri, impacting Tchouameni's future

Summary

Real Madrid is negotiating to sign Rodri from Manchester City, with personal terms reportedly agreed. The pursuit comes after the club extended Aurelien Tchouameni’s contract earlier this summer. If completed, Rodri's arrival would create increased competition in the midfield, potentially reducing Tchouameni's playing time. The club faces a decision as they balance squad depth and player opportunities, with Tchouameni's future possibly in jeopardy if Rodri joins.
