Spanish international midfielder Rodri is reportedly seeking a transfer to Real Madrid following his success in the World Cup where he helped Spain win the trophy.
The situation may directly affect the plans of Tchouameni and Camavinga as several English clubs have shown interest in their services.
However, the idea of transferring Rodri to Real Madrid may come under the threat due to news that Spain captain is likely to have an operation on his back, per Sky Sports.

While in recent months, president Florentino Perez had not fully convinced about the deal of signing a player to strengthen their midfield, the performance of Rodri in the All-Star World Cup has proved decisive in the matter.
For a long time, the officials of the Spanish club had respected Rodri and believed he would be a valuable addition to their team.
At the moment, there were no contacts from Real Madrid to Manchester City, however.
