Rodri is “eager” to join Real Madrid, and he may follow Pep Guardiola out of Manchester City this summer.
City’s Premier League title hopes came to an end on Tuesday night with Arsenal crowned champions at their expense.
Guardiola’s future has been a source of concern throughout the season, but a shocking report prior to their match against the Cherries this week stated that he will depart the club at the end of the current campaign after 10 trophy-filled years.
Enzo Maresca has been identified as Guardiola’s potential successor to usher in a new era at the Eithad, despite the Spaniard’s refusal to announce his anticipated departure.

However, reports from Spain indicate that Rodri’s return to Madrid is now a real possibility, therefore City may lose another very important player.
Guardiola’s potential departure has altered Real Madrid’s perception of the former Atletico Madrid star as a “dream but impossible” signing.
Over their seven years together in Manchester, the City manager and Rodri have developed a strong relationship.
The coach has made Rodri the lifeblood of his team, which has been crucial to the team’s success since his arrival in 2019.
Rodri Open To The Idea Of Real Madrid Move
However, according to Marca, Rodri has grown more receptive to the notion of going back to his own country and is increasingly optimistic that a move could eventually take place at Real.
Although City doesn’t want to lose one of their most important players, Rodri’s ultimate decision might have a significant impact.
City have historically not stood in the way of players looking for a new challenge with Bernardo Silva departing the club in similar circumstances this summer.
Real Madrid need to rebuild their midfield more than ever with the hole left by the departures of Luka Modric, Casemiro, and Toni Kroos still a significant problem.
