Rodri dreams of Real Madrid move – Romano

Manchester City midfielder Rodri is keen on a summer switch to Real Madrid, according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano. The Spanish international, who impressed at the 2026 World Cup, sees the Bernabéu as his next destination. His stock has risen even further after the tournament, and Madrid are monitoring his situation closely. However, Real president Florentino Pérez has yet to give the green light for serious negotiations. Romano reports that the club has not made a final decision on pursuing the 30-year-old this summer. City, meanwhile, are desperate to keep their midfield anchor. Rodri’s current contract runs for another year, and the Premier League champions have tabled a renewal offer. They remain hopeful he will commit his future to the Etihad. Rodri has previously admitted that playing in Spain again appeals to him, and that turning down Real Madrid would be difficult if they came calling.
