Rodri has been one of the decisive players for Spain in Euros 2024
Entering the upcoming season, Real Madrid will be lacking a midfield star due to Toni Kroos’ retirement. Dani Carvajal feels that he has identified the ideal talent to fill the void left by the German maestro, and it’s a face he knows well, even though there are no intentions to sign someone in his place.
In a Thursday conversation with El Partidazo de COPE, Carvajal discussed his fellow player Rodri Hernandez from Spain. He acknowledged that he had been pleading with the midfielder for Manchester City to move to Real Madrid with him.
“Without a doubt, I’d want him at Real Madrid. I tell him every day to leave Manchester, there is no sun there, to come to Madrid because we need him. He tells me he has a contract… but he would be perfect for us.”
Being one of the finest midfielders in the world, Rodri has had an excellent Euro 2024 campaign for Spain, which he hopes to cap off by leading La Roja to a fourth European Championship victory.
Even if Real Madrid expressed interest in Rodri, Man City are probably not too concerned about the issue. Given his previous ties to Atletico Madrid, it would undoubtedly require a sizable deal to get him away from Pep Guardiola’s team. Even in the event that a bid is accepted, it may be challenging to convince him to sign.
Will Rodri be open to joining Real Madrid from Man City?
It’s very unlikely Rodri will join Madrid who already have plenty of options in the middle of the pitch, and additionally, he has a contract with City.
City won’t have any intention to sell their most important player. He is the driving force of their midfield and can make a big difference in any match. Rodri’s astuteness in the middle of the pitch makes him an intriguing factor for a manager like Pep Guardiola.
Rodri has been one of the best defensive midfielders Spain have produced after Sergio Busquets, the 28-year-old knows how to marshall midfield and bring balance to the team. The game revolves around him and against France he limited Les Bleus’ midfield threat and brought fluidity to the game.
He will once again have another crucial role to play in the Euros 2024 final against England and the Three Lions will be hoping to hamper Rodri’s presence on the ball which could also affect Spain’s game.
