Alongside rodri

Trent Alexander Arnold: The football world is waiting for the ten-week independent commission to make a ruling on Manchester City’s 115 charges, a case that began on Monday, but Real Madrid will be ‘closely monitoring the situation’ as they hope to bring in Rodri to their team next summer.

According to a report by the Independent, Real Madrid are very interested in securing the Spaniard’s signature but believe that a move might not be possible due to the high value that City hold at their midfield general.

Another problem is that Rodri’s wages at his current club may be too much for Madrid to bear, however, they will be monitoring the case closely because, if found guilty of the charges, Manchester City faces the possibility of being relegated or even expelled from the Premier League. If such a situation arises, the existing player may want to leave the club.
