Man Utd transfer already in danger as arch-rivals look to block Real Madrid swapReal Madrid could be in transfer business with both Manchester United and Manchester City this summer, though the latter are looking to block any approachCommentsSportKieran Horn Digital Sports Journalist13:28, 21 Apr 2026View 2 ImagesReal Madrid look set for some midfield transfer business with Manchester United and Manchester City(Image: (Photo by Denis Doyle/Getty Images))Manchester United could receive an Aurelien Tchouameni transfer lift thanks to Real Madrid's pursuit of Manchester City star Rodri. At least one midfield acquisition is anticipated at Old Trafford this summer with Tchouameni the most recent prominent name to emerge.‌According to The Telegraph, the Frenchman is viewed as an interesting option given how he might become obtainable this summer. That is because Real president Florentino Perez is a huge admirer of Rodri with the midfielder also matching the type of acquisition he favours as the captain of Spain and Madrid-born.‌Despite representing Atletico Madrid, the 29-year-old stoked speculation of a potential switch to Los Blancos after declaring that "you can't turn down the best clubs in the world". Rodri has just over one year remaining on his existing deal with City having already presented him an extension as they are reluctant to lose him.‌Nothing has been finalised as of yet though, which has provided Real with additional motivation to chase his signature. And United could gain significantly from any arrangement as it might pave the way for a Tchouameni departure.READ MORE: Man Utd identify new transfer target to replace Casemiro but may need Man City favourREAD MORE: Marcus Rashford to be 'forced to return to Man Utd' as Barcelona swing axe on five playersFOLLOW OUR MAN UTD FB PAGE!
