Rodri is reportedly contemplating a return to Spain, which could mark a significant shift for the midfielder and his career.
Currently a pivotal figure for Manchester City, Rodri has expressed interest in leaving the Premier League side. As noted by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, his preferred destination is Real Madrid, where he wishes to continue his professional journey.
Real Madrid, however, is hesitant to pursue Rodri this summer due to the midfielder’s contract, which runs until 2027. The club may opt to delay any potential move, potentially waiting for a chance to sign him on a free transfer in the future.
In related news, Manchester City’s new manager, Enzo Maresca, has begun formulating the club’s transfer strategies ahead of his official appointment. He is set to replace Guardiola as head coach, with a three-year contract already agreed, pending formalization.
Additionally, Bernardo Silva is expected to depart Manchester City at the end of the current season, as the Portuguese playmaker weighs his options for the next phase of his career.
