Manchester City star Rodri, who recently won the prestigious 2024 Ballon d’Or, has expressed his admiration for Real Madrid, calling it the best football club in history.
In a recent interview with El Larguero, the Spanish midfielder spoke about his respect for the La Liga giants and hinted at the honor of being associated with such a historic club.
When asked about the possibility of a future move to Real Madrid, Rodri didn’t shy away from acknowledging the club’s stature in the footballing world.
“When Real Madrid calls you, the best club in history and the most successful… It makes you proud and you always have to listen. It’s obvious. You always have to pay attention,” said Rodri.
His words come as no surprise, considering Real Madrid’s unparalleled achievements, including their record 14 UEFA Champions League titles. The club has a reputation for attracting some of the biggest names in football, and Rodri’s comments highlight the allure that continues to draw players from around the world.
Rodri’s career has been on a meteoric rise, capped by his Ballon d’Or victory over players like Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham. The award solidifies his status as one of the best players in the world, and speculation about his future will only intensify after these remarks.
For now, the Manchester City ace remains a vital part of Pep Guardiola’s team, but his words suggest that the door to a Real Madrid move is never entirely closed.
