Relations between PSG and Real Madrid have turned sour in recent years, and the ongoing transfer window has only made matters worse. Furious at the development, the Parisiens contacted Real Madrid target Rodri hoping to steal him. They persuaded the player and attempted to convince him to put aside his dream of joining Real Madrid. The player wants to decide his future on his own terms and sees only two options – join Real Madrid or stay at Manchester City. PSG and Barcelona have both tried to make late entries into the race, but Real Madrid are in pole position by some distance.
