Man City transfer news: Rodri pushing for Real Madrid move despite being set to undergo back surgery

Manchester City midfielder Rodri is reportedly pushing for a move to Real Madrid following his World Cup win with Spain, though any transfer could be complicated by the fact he is set to undergo back surgery. According to the Daily Mail, Rodri's potential departure from City could have a knock-on effect on the futures of Real Madrid players Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga, who are attracting Premier League interest. Separately, Liverpool are said to be leading the race to sign Bradley Barcola, while Bruno Fernandes is planning to commit his future to Manchester United this month.
