Real Madrid's bid for Rodri could jeopardize Aurelien Tchouameni's role

Real Madrid are in advanced talks to sign Rodri from Manchester City, having already agreed on personal conditions while fee negotiations continue. The club had recently renewed Aurelien Tchouameni's contract to block Premier League suitors, notably Manchester United. However, the prospective acquisition of the World Cup-winning midfielder threatens to displace Tchouameni, who has been a regular in the central area.

Sources suggest that while Tchouameni remains valued, his role could shrink if Rodri joins, potentially prompting a market move. The situation creates a strategic dilemma for the Spanish giants as they balance squad depth with individual playing time. The next weeks will determine whether Tchouameni stays as a key figure or becomes a transfer candidate.
