Rodri was a standout performer at Euro 2024, guiding Spain to victory and earning the tournament’s best player award for his exceptional performances on the field in Germany.
As a crucial player for Manchester City, Rodri is indispensable to Pep Guardiola, who would only consider replacing him with a player of equal quality—something that is currently unfeasible.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid thought about signing Rodri as a replacement for Toni Kroos, who retired following Germany’s European Championship. However, they faced an unexpected demand from the English club.
According to Defense Central, Manchester City has agreed to transfer Rodri to Real Madrid in a surprising swap deal that includes Jude Bellingham.
However, Florentino Perez quickly dismissed the proposal, as Real Madrid views Bellingham as a key player for their future project, alongside Vinicius and the recently joined Mbappe.
