Rodri's transfer to Real Madrid appears stalled amid negotiations
Summary

Transfer discussions between Real Madrid and Manchester City for Spain captain Rodri are reportedly 'almost broken.' The breakdown in talks centers on Manchester City's asking price of $86.5 million compared to Madrid's offer of $58 million. Rodri, who recently starred in Spain's World Cup victory, is in the last year of his contract, prompting Madrid President Florentino Perez to seek a lower fee. Negotiations have reportedly frozen due to dissatisfaction from both clubs and the player. Sources suggest there may be an opportunity for FC Barcelona to step in and secure Rodri if Madrid cannot resurrect the discussions.
