Barely crowned with the 2024 Ballon d’Or, Rodri, the Manchester City midfielder, could consider a return to La Liga and respond to the interest of Real Madrid. Despite his attachment to the Skyblues, the Spanish player confided in an interview with Marca that his contract extension with City was not his immediate priority, hinting at a possible future adventure in Spain. “I’m very happy here, but I’m not closing the doors,” he said.
A return to Spain in the plans?
Currently injured until the end of the season, Rodri has expressed his desire to focus on his recovery. However, his statement leaves doubt about a return to La Liga, where Real Madrid are closely monitoring the situation. Although he is linked to Manchester City until 2027, the prospect of joining Casa Blanca could intensify in the next transfer window. It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will seize this opportunity to strengthen their midfield, weakened since the departure of Toni Kroos.
