In a recent press conference, Manchester City midfielder Rodri made headlines with his candid comments about his decision to join Real Madrid, offering insight into his thoughts on the transfer. The 27-year-old Spaniard, who has been a key figure in City's midfield for several seasons, confirmed his move to Real Madrid, despite significant interest from his current club.
Expressing his surprise and disappointment, Rodri spoke about his former teammate’s decision to make the switch. “Having played alongside him for so many years, I know what he brings to the team. I genuinely don’t understand why he chose this misguided path to join Madrid, especially after I advised against it,” Rodri said, reflecting on the situation.
The transfer, reportedly worth £50 million, has become one of the most talked-about moves of the transfer window. Despite Manchester City's substantial offer to retain him, Rodri opted to take on a new challenge with Real Madrid. This decision raises questions about his role at the Spanish club and its impact on Manchester City’s plans for the upcoming season.
Rodri’s comments highlight the complex personal and professional challenges that often accompany high-profile transfers. While his departure marks the end of a significant chapter at City, it also signals the start of a new journey at Real Madrid. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how Rodri adapts to his new surroundings and whether this transfer will prove advantageous for both him and his new team.
