Rodri Addresses Potential Real Madrid Move: "You Always Have to Listen"
In an interview with El Larguero, Manchester City midfielder Rodri addressed his future in the sport, specifically mentioning the possibility of joining Real Madrid. Asked how he would respond to interest from the Spanish giants, Rodri didn't hold back on his admiration for Los Blancos.
When Real Madrid call you, the best club in history and the most successful… it makes you proud and you always have to listen," he said. His words have naturally caused intrigue among supporters and pundits alike, with many pondering if the 27-year-old could make a move on the Santiago Bernabéu in years to come.
Rodri, touted by many as currently one of the finest defensive midfielders in the world, spoke of the importance of Real Madrid's stature in the game. "It's obvious. You always have to pay attention," he said, leaving the door open to potentially talking with the club later.
Having played a crucial part in Manchester City's historic treble-winning campaign last season, Rodri has established himself as an important player for Pep Guardiola's side. His performances have made him a key figure for Spain too, further elevating his profile in the global game.
There's no immediate indication that Rodri plans to leave Manchester City, and yet his comments have inevitably stoked rumors of a future move to Real Madrid. Being a player who grew up in Spain and honed his craft in La Liga with Villarreal and Atlético Madrid, going back home to such an iconic football club does seem tempting.
For now, City fans can rest easy knowing Rodri remains committed to their cause. However, his remarks serve as a reminder of the irresistible allure that Real Madrid holds for even the most accomplished players in the sport. Only time will tell if this mutual admiration leads to a new chapter in Rodri’s career.
