Despite a contract running until June 2027, Rodri could cut short his adventure with Manchester City to join the ranks of Real Madrid if the opportunity arises. It's the player himself who says it.
Manchester City transfer market: Rodri rêve du Real Madrid
Out for the rest of the season due to a serious knee injury, Rodri took the opportunity to think about his future. While his name was associated with Barça a few months ago, the Manchester City midfielder took advantage of his time on La Cadena SER to make a resounding announcement about the rest of his future.
Asked about a possible transfer to Real Madrid, who could make him an offer to replace Luka Modric, the 28-year-old Spanish international clearly opened his arms to Florentino Pérez.
“When Real Madrid calls you, the best club in history and the most successful… it makes you proud and you must always listen. It’s an honor, you always have to pay attention to it,” said Pep Guardiola’s protégé.
If the interest of the Madrid club is confirmed, this transfer could shake up the summer transfer window. Rodri, with his profile as a recovering and organizing midfielder, perfectly matches the current needs of the Merengues. However, the 2024 Ballon d'Or does not intend to force his departure from Manchester City.
Rodri feels good in England
Recruited in July 2019 for a check for 70 million euros from Atlético Madrid, Rodri feels good at Manchester City and feels fulfilled under the orders of his compatriot Pep Guardiola. Moreover, he does not necessarily rule out the possibility of finishing his career in England, where he feels very good.
“It could be a possibility to finish my career in England,” added Erling Haaland’s partner. These ambivalent statements cast doubt on Rodri's future, but if his profile is of great interest to Real Madrid, which is looking to strengthen its midfield, the amount of the transfer could be very high.
