In European football, the transfer market heats up again with the arrival of summer, this time it's not just rumors, but a real "explosion." English club Manchester City may consider an agreement with Real Madrid regarding the fate of Spanish midfielder Rodri Hernandez after the end of the season. Journalists from El Nacional are reporting this.
According to the source, City manager Pep Guardiola is not fundamentally opposed to releasing the 29-year-old defensive midfielder to the Royal Club. But there's one "but" here - and it's very big: Guardiola wants Uruguayan Federico Valverde and Brazilian winger Rodrigo to move to "City."
That is, this is not a classic scheme of "giving money," but rather a mega-exchange that is difficult for both sides, but can have a great effect. If such a scenario is implemented, it will undoubtedly be one of the most discussed operations of the summer transfer window.
Rodri's current contract with Manchester City runs until June 2027. His transfer value is estimated at around €75 million. This number alone shows how City values this player: Rodri is one of those players who maintains order, tempo, and stability in the team center.
Interestingly, the proposed "package" is also very serious. Valverde means strength, tempo, and universality. Rodrigo has speed on the wing, dribbling, and agility in decisive episodes. Therefore, if such an agreement is reached, there could be significant changes in both clubs' lineups, even affecting their playing style.
In short, this statement is currently at the "variant" level. But in football, it's precisely such options that one day will take over the titles. There's still time until summer, but the transfer drama has already begun.
