Manchester City midfielder Rodri is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered early last season. Recent performances suggest he is returning to his best form.
Real Madrid appears interested in signing him, with reports indicating that the club values Rodri highly. They are keen to acquire the Ballon d’Or winner from their Champions League rivals.
Fabrizio Romano, via the Madrid Zone, reports that people at the Santiago Bernabeu admire Rodri and want him in Madrid this summer.
Ultimately, the choice lies with Rodri, who has the option to move to La Liga. He played for Atletico Madrid before joining Manchester City in 2019.
This news may not be welcome for Manchester City supporters. While Real Madrid’s interest and Rodri’s potential desire to leave are significant, the actual transfer depends on whether City agrees to the deal.
At 29 years old, Rodri may be closer to a transfer than many believe. Manchester City and Pep Guardiola have a history of selling players when the time is right, often earlier than expected.
