Real Madrid’s potential move for Manchester City midfielder Rodri next summer has been a hot topic in the football world. Despite coach Carlo Ancelotti previously stating that there would be no more signings after acquiring Kylian Mbappe and Endrick, rumors swirl about a possible pursuit of Rodri in 2025.
With the retirement of Toni Kroos and the shift of Jude Bellingham to central midfield due to Mbappe’s arrival, Real Madrid is eyeing Rodri as their top target in the summer transfer window. The possibility of Pep Guardiola leaving Manchester City next summer could pave the way for Rodri’s exit, according to reports.
Rodri, a highly-regarded midfielder, started his career at Villarreal before making a name for himself at Atletico Madrid and eventually moving to Manchester City in 2019. With an impressive track record of trophies and contributions on the field, Rodri has caught the attention of Real Madrid.
Carvajal, a Real Madrid player, expressed his desire for Rodri to join the club, stating, “Without a doubt, I’d want him at Real Madrid. I tell him every day to leave Manchester… He tells me he has a contract but he would be perfect for us.”
Rodri’s market value is estimated at €130m, reflecting his importance to Manchester City. His recent successful season with nine goals and 14 assists has further highlighted his talent on the field.
While Manchester City will aim to retain Rodri, a potential move to Real Madrid could be tempting for the midfielder if he seeks a new challenge. With Real Madrid’s interest and the allure of playing for the reigning European and Spanish champions, Rodri’s future remains uncertain as the transfer window approaches.
