Reports suggest Manchester City are searching for their next Kevin De Bruyne, with eyes on Real Madrid for a potential creative successor
Manchester City are reportedly willing to include Rodri in a deal to sign 20-year-old Real Madrid star Arda Guler
Real Madrid aren’t considering the offer, standing firm on their stance that Arda Guler is not for sale, despite his recent dip in form
Despite already having Rayan Cherki and Phil Foden, City still see Guler as a high-upside playmaker, possibly as a wide option or future midfield engine
Madrid admire Rodri and may pursue him separately, but they are unwilling to lose Guler, who they still view as a long-term project and key talent
Real Madrid are set to face Manchester City in a high-voltage Champions League clash on December 11, adding extra intensity to the ongoing transfer buzz
