Reliable journalist Matteo Moretto reports that Rodri is simply waiting for the two clubs to agree a transfer fee, having wrapped up every personal detail of his Real Madrid contract.

According to Moretto, the midfielder has struck a complete agreement with the Royal Club over the terms of his deal. No obstacles remain on the player's side. The final decision now rests with Manchester City and Real Madrid.

Rodri sits among Real Madrid's most important targets right now.

Only the fee now separates the two parties from an official announcement. Real Madrid's fans are watching closely, desperate to see one of the world's finest midfielders join their ranks.
