Rodri Hernández, a 30-year-old midfielder from Manchester City, is definitively moving away from the transfer market of Real Madrid after communicating his inclination towards Barcelona. The Spanish international's contract ends in June 2027, and his future has shifted in recent days following Real Madrid's progress in a potential signing.

According to information from Sergio Valentín, Real Madrid had reached an understanding with Rodri and had also progressed in transfer discussions. However, an internal decision on pricing reportedly halted an operation that the club was pursuing.

Juni Calafat emerges in the turn of Rodri Hernández's signing

The journalist directly points to Juni Calafat as a key figure in this change. His approach was to try to reduce the operation's cost when the player's agreement was advanced, and talks were ongoing regarding the conditions set by Manchester City.

Florentino Pérez reportedly accepted this strategy, and Real Madrid halted progress to seek a reduction. The issue arose when Manchester City maintained their financial demands and refused to reduce the requested price sufficiently.

This pause altered the scenario for Rodri Hernández. As per this version, the player initially expressed a desire to sign with the white team, but Madrid's stance shifted to conditioning the move on a transfer fee reduction.

The contractual situation allowed room for negotiation. Rodri enters the final year of his deal with Manchester City, expiring in 2027, but the English club can still demand a significant sum this summer before risking losing him without a transfer a year later.

Barcelona seizes Real Madrid's pause

Barcelona entered the scene in recent days. Deco contacted Rodri, and per the provided information, the coach and several Spanish national team players from the Blaugrana squad were also involved in approaching the player.

This offensive allowed the Catalan club to present an alternative to the midfielder while Real Madrid's economic negotiations were at a standstill. Rodri ultimately leaned towards this option and reportedly communicated his decision to the Madrid leaders thereafter.

José Félix Díaz also reported that the player conveyed his final choice to Madrid after receiving a contract proposal from the white team. During those discussions, Rodri reportedly did not express a definitive decision, keeping other possibilities open.

Real Madrid loses an option to strengthen the midfield

The potential departure also affects José Mourinho's planning for LaLiga. The coach had been linked in recent weeks to the search for a midfielder, with Rodri being one of the candidates for that position.

The next move now rests with Barcelona and Manchester City, who must reach an economic agreement to finalize the player's choice as a transfer. If these negotiations progress, Rodri Hernández will definitively exclude Real Madrid from the deal after a rapid change of scenario in just a matter of days.
