Rfd1 maybe?
I can’t see too far ahead, but 1.Rxg6+! looks inspiring to me.
It seems that after 1…fxg6 2.Rf6! Black will hae trouble defending his g6 pawn…

g4
If White fails to prevent it, then
on the next move, Black can win outright with Qe6+. The only checks available to White on the board are suicidal; the defensive move g4 is therefore required. Qe6 without check loses to Rd8+ Kg7 Qh8#

1. R:f7 appears to work. 1…Q:f7 gets mated after 2. Rd8+, and 1…K:f7 2. Rd6 exploits the pin on the Rg6 to recover the R with mating threats.
Possibly black’s best defense is 1…Qe6+ but 2 Rf5 appears to be sufficient to hold.
E6
White seems winning anyway with two pawns up and many ways to force material exhcange!
But given this is a puzzle, Rxf7 looks very tempting to me!
Looks winning in most lines.
