Real Madrid has immediately paused negotiations for the possible transfer of Manchester City's retired player Rodri. According to information from the Spanish edition of AS, the club's commitment focused on the completed transfer of RB Leipzig striker Jan Diomande.

It appears that the five-year contract with the Cote d'Ivoire national team player has already been finalized. Real Madrid will try to arrange the best deal so that the newcomer can join Jose Mourinho's team before the end of the season.

It was expected that the transition to Diomande would be closed for the beginning of the year, however, beyond the division between the clubs, the process would drag on. The negotiations planned for Thursday before Rodri were postponed.

At the moment, the Madrid club is not interested in the idea of \u200b\u200bsigning the Ballon d'Or winner. According to Dzherel, interest in Rodri is no longer relevant, and the negotiation process will be renewed after the completion of work on the transfer of Diomande.
