Indeed, Man City's performance is really bad, even this time they were slaughtered by Tottenham again and again, losing in 5 consecutive matches, it's irony and a new bad history for Pep Guardiola. Man City must find a backup that is indeed competitive, ready, and ready to strengthen the club. Moreover, rumors about Rodri's departure are increasingly emerging, although it is unknown whether it will really happen or not.
Source: Manchester City midfielder Rodri But, I'm not really sure that Pep will let Rodri go, especially considering Man City's current condition. Let rumor be spreading and make this transfer market more exciting.
This is just a mere speculations, and even though it might be possible that Rodri might said that, but I am very much positive that it's not now, not even three seasons to come, because Manchester city is very much aware of how important Rodri is too them, so letting him go to real madrid wouldn't look ambitious on their own part, so I believe that before something like that is even considered, it would be that Rodri will have past his prime, which is like three to four years time from now, but as for now, it's just speculations, nothing more.
Because we all know how important he is to this Manchester city side, just because of his absence due to injuries, look at how they are struggling, so I believe that Manchester city isn't stupid to that extent of letting him go when they all knows that he is the brainbox of the team.
