The Rodri saga has taken another unexpected turn. While Real Madrid appeared to have abandoned the move, the Spanish club are reportedly ready to revive their interest in the Manchester City midfielder.
A transfer to Real Madrid still seemed impossible just a few days ago, but José Mourinho may have changed everything. According to Ramón Álvarez de Mon, Los Blancos have reconsidered their position and are preparing to make a concrete move. It would be a spectacular U-turn, as Florentino Pérez had previously been described as the main obstacle to signing the Spanish world champion.

After an outstanding World Cup with Spain, Rodri is viewed internally as a player capable of transforming Madrid’s midfield. His leadership, technical quality and experience at the highest level appeal to several senior figures at the club. Rodri is also said to be attracted by the prospect of playing at the Santiago Bernabéu, despite Madrid already having Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham and Bernardo Silva.
Manchester City, however, have no intention of losing their midfield leader without a fight. According to Radio Marca, the English club have offered Rodri an extremely lucrative contract extension, but he has yet to respond. With Real Madrid preparing an offensive, Mourinho pushing for his signature and City ready to spend heavily, the battle for Rodri could become one of the summer’s biggest transfer sagas.
