Recently, Rodri has been a frequent topic of discussion at Real Madrid, largely due to his outstanding performances in the European Nations Cup and the Premier League, as well as the subsequent celebrations in Madrid. Spain’s triumph in the European Cup, held in Germany, led to a wave of celebrations in Madrid, generating both enthusiasm and mixed reactions.
The situation was further complicated when some players, including those chosen by Luis de la Fuente, sang “Gibraltar in Spanish” at the Cibeles event, which angered many in England. This discontent in England might be more serious than just media speculation, with some suggesting that Rodri’s departure could be imminent due to his actions during the celebrations. It’s also rumored that Rodri has expressed a desire to return to Spanish football.
According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, Pep Guardiola consented to letting his top star leave for Real Madrid if he could acquire the highly sought-after Jude Bellingham in return.
However, the proposed exchange fell through quickly due to Real Madrid’s refusal to part with Bellingham, who is regarded as a crucial and irreplaceable future cornerstone for the club.
