It’s just a question of details, but the British press has been announcing since Monday evening the departure of Pep Guardiola from Manchester City at the end of the season. Despite an additional year of contract, the Catalan chose to end his adventure with the Skyblues after ten years at the head of the club, during which he won 20 titles, a total which could reach 21 if he finally lifts the Premier League.

This departure could also have direct consequences on the future of several stars of the Mancunian squad, and in particular for Rodri, assures the SER. The Spanish midfielder, followed by Real Madrid for several years, is once again strongly announced by the Merengues, eager to drastically strengthen their squad for next season. Madrid leaders would have closely observed his recovery after his serious injury and would see him as the ideal piece to strengthen their midfield.
José Mourinho will have the last word
However, the file remains complex and will also depend on the future Madrid coach. Real Madrid must still finalize the supposed arrival of José Mourinho before precisely defining its priorities for the transfer window, which promises to be decisive after two consecutive years of failure. Internally, several voices nevertheless believe that Rodri perfectly matches the profile sought to give a new dimension to the Merengue environment and the departure of Pep Guardiola would clearly facilitate his departure to Spain.
It now remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will succeed in convincing Manchester City to open the door to one of its major players, who is under contract until June 2027 and returns as a starter after a long period of convalescence. And while its price is estimated at 70 million euros, the Skyblues should not give any gifts to their Madrid rival, but one thing seems certain: with the departure of Guardiola and the possible overhaul of the Merengue project, the Rodri soap opera is likely to animate the whole summer on the Madrid side.
