Premier League superstar ready to join Real Madrid this summer but everything depends on Mourinho
Premier League superstar ready to join Real Madrid this summer but everything depends on Mourinho Real Madrid are gearing up for a busy summer, where one of the priorities will be to bring in a new defensive midfielder. The club are yet to find a viable replacement for Toni Kroos, with the likes of Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni not quite managing to fill in the shoes. This has led to Real Madrid eyeing a move for Rodri, whose future at Manchester City remains uncertain heading into the summer transfer window.

The midfielder is even more desperate following the confirmation of Pep Guardiola’s exit.
The player had shared a strong bond with Guardiola, and with him no longer the manager, he is considering a change of scenery. Rodri joined Man City in 2019, and since then, he has racked up almost 300 competitive appearances. He has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world, controversially winning the Ballon d’Or ahead of Vinicius Jr.

However, the report states that the final move will hinge on the approval of incoming Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho. It remains to be seen whether or not the Portuguese tactician green-lights the Rodri move, which is one of Real Madrid’s conditions for pursuing the Spaniard in the first place. Moreover, Real Madrid’s negotiations with Man City should also be factored in, as Los Blancos will not pay any price for the former Atletico Madrid star, who turns 30 next month.
