115 charges: Manchester City face a longer season ahead

Rodri’s rise under Pep Guardiola has been meteoric, with the 28-year-old instrumental in City’s treble-winning campaign and named the Champions League player of the season in 2023. His stock rose even higher after being crowned player of the tournament at Euro 2024, where he led Spain to victory. But now, Real Madrid is circling, keen to lure the midfield engine back to his home country.

The twist? Rodri’s previous stint at Atletico Madrid, making his potential switch to their fierce rivals all the more dramatic. While his heart remains in Manchester for now, Real Madrid is reportedly the only club that could tempt him away from Guardiola’s empire.

Is Rodri ready to ditch Manchester City for a La Liga homecoming, or will Pep convince him to stay put?
