Real Madrid are preparing a serious move during the summer transfer window for Manchester City midfielder Rodri, as the English team could face major changes after the Pep Guardiola era.
Los Blancos see Rodri as a future leader and captain, who can bring experience, authority and stability to the Madrid midfield. The Ballon d'Or winner is considered the ideal profile to lead the new generation at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Rodri has previously admitted he would consider a return to Spain, while Pep Guardiola's future at Manchester City remains unclear. This situation makes next summer a key moment for Real Madrid, who are closely monitoring developments at the Etihad.
Should Guardiola leave, City could enter a rebuilding phase, which would make it more difficult to keep hold of key players. Real Madrid are hoping to use this situation to convince Rodri to return to La Liga and become a pillar of the club's long-term project.
However, Manchester City are not expected to let go of one of the team's most important players easily, making this one of the most interesting sagas of the summer transfer window. /Express newspaper
