Manchester City midfielder Rodri is reportedly pushing for a transfer to Real Madrid following his World Cup victory with Spain. His potential departure could influence the futures of Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga, who are attracting interest from Premier League clubs.

However, any transfer plans may be complicated by reports that Rodri is scheduled to undergo surgery for a back injury. Meanwhile, Liverpool is reportedly leading the race to sign Bradley Barcola, with Arsenal also showing interest.

In other news, Bruno Fernandes is expected to commit his future to Manchester United. The club is also nearing a double youth signing from Manchester City. Wolves faced training disruptions after Tolu Arokodare refused to leave despite a ban.

Separately, Argentina's Roberto Ayala described an incident with Dani Olmo as a 'push' rather than a punch. Manchester United youngster Tyler Fletcher is reportedly staying put, while Dundee United is close to signing Abdoulaye Yoro.
