After winning the 2024 Ballon d’Or, Manchester City defensive midfielder Rodri opened an intriguing door regarding his future during his appearance on the show El Larguero on Cadena SER. The Spaniard, under contract with City until 2027, spoke of the honor that a possible call from Real Madrid would represent: “Obviously, when Real Madrid calls you, the best club in history and the most successful, it’s an honor. You should always pay attention to this. This goes without saying. »
However, the player trained at Atlético de Madrid, and today a centerpiece of Pep Guardiola, also confirmed that he feels appreciated in the Premier League, where he could consider ending his career. But his attachment to Spain remains strong, adding that La Liga and its level continue to seduce him.
Between admiration for Guardiola and openness for the future
Rodri also welcomed Pep Guardiola’s extension at City, which he considers essential for his progress: “Guardiola allowed me to reach a higher level”. However, he leaves some mystery surrounding his intentions, stating: “I fell in love with English football, but Spain is my country. »
With these statements, Rodri fuels rumors of a transfer to Real Madrid, a club that could be interested in a player of his stature to strengthen its midfield.
