Pep Guardiola is said to be recommending Barcelona as the top choice for Rodri if he chooses to depart from Manchester City.
Real Madrid has set their sights on Rodri, who was awarded the title of best player at Euro 2024 and has consistently performed well under Guardiola.
According to reports, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is very eager to secure the midfielder’s signature.
Recent reports from Spain have suggested that Real Madrid is highly interested in signing Rodri for their summer 2025 transfers, and they are also keeping an eye on Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich.
It has recently been revealed that Guardiola has advised Rodri that if he decides to relocate to Spain, Barcelona would be a more suitable choice for him based on his abilities.
Although Guardiola wants Rodri to remain at Manchester City, he has suggested Barcelona as a great option over Real Madrid if Rodri chooses to depart the Premier League.
