Guardiola's Exit Fuels Rodri Madrid Move Rumors
26 May
Summary
- Rodri's contract at Man City is nearing its final year.
- Real Madrid has long admired Rodri since his Atletico days.
- Rodri has admitted he would not ignore an approach from Real.
Real Madrid is reportedly looking to sign Rodri from Manchester City this summer, with Pep Guardiola's departure from the Etihad Stadium cited as a key factor. Guardiola managed his final game for City on Sunday, marking the end of his decade-long tenure.
Spanish reports suggest Real Madrid sees this as an opportune moment to pursue Rodri, a player they have admired since his time at Atletico Madrid. The Madrid-born midfielder's close ties to Guardiola previously made a move to the Bernabéu difficult.
With Rodri's Manchester City contract nearing its end, a transfer to Real Madrid has become a more realistic prospect. He has previously stated he could not ignore an approach from the Santiago Bernabéu. However, City is reportedly in contract renewal talks, making Rodri's future uncertain.
