King struggle


The white king is struggling, nevertheless it has some defence options, at least for a few more moves. Black to move, what would be the best move possible?

First obvious move might be Rxc5+, but after Kd4 you will end up with a simple piece exchange, I feel that something better is achivable...

At second glance, I thought in setting a trap with Nb2, hoping that after Kxb2 would follow a mate in 2, but whites has a clever answer for this, forking both rooks with Nd7 (Tip: Never underestimate your opponent)

Finally, after careful thinking (in fact it was after naively setting the trap and get a rook fork in return), the answer shows up... Can you see it?
