Manchester City’s Midfield Marvel in the Spotlight…

Alert! Alert! The Santiago Bernabeu Galaxy Brigade has spotted a star on the move! Yes, their cosmic radars are fixed on Manchester City’s midfield maestro, Rodri. And honestly, folks, this is about as shocking as a squirrel finding a nut — he’s Spanish, he’s spectacular, and the kind of player that makes angels weep with his passes. With Arsenal about to sign Zubimendi (who?), Real Madrid are licking their lips over the possibility of guiding Rodri onto their galactic vessel.

Rumblings from deep within Madrid’s report-stalgia, a.k.a the newspaper AS, say the Champions League Charmers are eyeing Rodri’s contract like a hungry cat watches a tuna can. Remember how they snatched Trent Alexander-Arnold right from under Liverpool’s nose? Well, City won’t want dĂ©jĂ  vu with Rodri’s contract still wearing its two-year expiration tag. Time to tie him down quicker than a loose shoelace on a cup final day!

But hang on, a twist! Rodri didn’t shut down the Spanish courtship last November, saying the thought of joining the Real Madrid legendarium fills him with “honour.” But is it a true temptation or just some contract witchcraft? Either way, Manchester City now hold a ticking clock, as fragrant aromas of Real Madrid perfume threaten to entice their spicy midfield general across La Liga lines. Tick-tock, City, tick-tock!
