The transfer market always brings surprises, some like Rodri Hernández’s recent nod to Real Madrid. In an interview with Radioestadio Noche on Onda Cero, the Manchester City midfielder spoke about his future and, to the surprise of many, did not rule out wearing white despite his past with Atlético.
The Spanish international was unequivocal when asked about the club from Concha Espina. “Even though I played for Atleti, Madrid is not a closed door for me,” the player said. Rodri stressed that, in professional football, “you cannot turn down the best clubs,” placing the Madrid side at the top of his future options.
Despite this verbal openness, the Madrid-born player is keeping his feet on the ground regarding his situation in England. He currently has one year left on his contract with Pep Guardiola’s team, so he admitted that he will soon have to sit down with City to decide whether to renew or seek a new challenge in his career.

After the debates sparked over the Ballon d’Or, the midfielder confessed to feeling “deep admiration” for the Brazilian, denying any kind of personal hostility with the Real Madrid star.
