Manchester City and Spain star Rodri Hernandez has done little to dampen rumors of a possible move to Real Madrid. He confirmed on Spanish radio that he would listen to their offer if they made one. Los Blancos have been linked with a move for the Ballon d'Or winner as they look to deal with the departure of Toni Kroos from midfield.
As early as March this year, it was rumored that Real Madrid were looking for Rodri, who is out of contract in 2027. Manchester City are looking to extend his contract to secure his long-term future.
“It's clear that it's an honor when Real Madrid calls you the best club in history and the most successful, with what it means. You always have to pay attention. That much is clear,” Rodri told Cadena SER.
Rodri also spoke about extending Pep Guardiola, who was confirmed this week to sign with City for another two years.
“It is a joy that Pep has decided to continue. He is the most influential coach of my career. It is a joy for the club and for all 'citizens'. I know him and when I signed for them they told me he would only be there for a few years and I would go. I already knew it wouldn't be like that.
“Guardiola is similar to Simeone in how demanding they are and how much they love this sport,” he noted.
Real Madrid are hoping the Premier League allegations and possible sanctions can open the door for Rodri, but if he doesn't sign a new contract with City, they could consider selling the Spanish kingpin. As a general rule, City have always left the door open for players to leave the club if they don't want to be there, but Rodri would test that theory to the limit as Guardiola will undoubtedly fight to keep what some say is their club. best player.
