Rodri is an important player in the Manchester City squad, but his future will be the subject of hot speculation when one of the giant teams from La Liga offers him a contract. Real Madrid certainly need it to find balance in its midfield following the retirement of Toni Kroos and the possible expiry of Modric's contract next season, so Rodri would be a welcome addition.
Manchester City is unlikely to let Rodri move so quickly to any team in the next transfer window. They still need Rodri even though Ilkay Gundogan is back, but without Rodri the balance in the midfield is not very good. Do you remember how Manchester City performed when Rodri was absent for a long time due to injury? That's what I mean.
Rodri is really needed by Manchester City because after all he has been defending Manchester City for a long time which I remember since 2019 and of course I predict that it is not impossible that Rodri will join Real Madrid in the summer because after all he is Spanish. But yes, Real Madrid definitely really needs Rodri because he is very suitable to replace Real Madrid's midfielder position and next season, if Modric retires, of course if Real Madrid choose him and bring in Rodri, that will certainly be a good thing.
But on the one hand, Manchester City certainly doesn't want to lose Rodri and indeed, when Rodri was injured, there was a difference in Manchester City's game, but when Rodri was around, Manchester City's game certainly got better. Yes, of course, Rodri is still under contract until 2027 at Manchester City, but predicting that Rodri will choose Real Madrid or Manchester City is of course very difficult because Real Madrid and Manchester City are good clubs, in my opinion it is very difficult to predict this. but my gut feeling is that Rodri will remain at Manchester City.
but yes, with Ilkay who has returned to defend Manchester City, of course I also think Rodri should be retained because considering that the competition is definitely getting tougher, but we don't know that for example, Manchester City wants a lot of money. but I hope Rodri can continue at Manchester City.
