Speaking on Instagram, Romano made it clear that Rodri has still not agreed a new contract with Man City, putting his future into some doubt.
This follows the Spain international himself speaking out and hinting that he’d be open to playing for Real Madrid at some point in the future.
It remains to be seen if Los Blancos are actually keen to sign Rodri, but he’s one of the best in the world in his position on his day, and it’s easy to imagine he might be keen to return to La Liga.
Rodri open to Real Madrid transfer despite spell at Atletico Madrid
Rodri has made it clear that he’d have no issue playing for Real despite also having a spell with their rivals Atletico earlier in his career.
The 29-year-old started his senior career at Villarreal, but spent time in Atleti’s academy and also spent one season there as a professional before moving to the Etihad Stadium in 2019.
Discussing his City future, as quoted by Sky Sports, Rodri said: ““I have a year left on my contract. There will come a point when we’ll have to sit down and talk.
“There are other players who’ve taken that path (between both Madrid clubs). Not directly, but over time. You can’t turn down the best clubs in the world.
“I would like to return (to LaLiga) yes, of course. For me, LaLiga is where I started. I still follow it, not as much as before, but I still follow it. But right now, I am very happy here (in the Premier League).”
Real Madrid are expected to let Eduardo Camavinga leave this summer, so that could mean they’ll be in the market for someone like Rodri to take his place in midfield.
