Manchester City’s trial on 115 charges for reported breaches of the Premier League financial rules started yesterday and raised dust all over the football world. Many clubs will follow the process – all for their own reasons. After all, one man’s loss is another man’s gain. Apart from the Cityzens’ rivals and title competitors, Real Madrid will be interested in the case as well. The reason? Rodri.🚨 Real Madrid have an interest in Rodri, but they believe that they don’t have the means to make it happen. There is no intention of matching what he’s been offered by City nor their transfer fee demand.But they are willing to wait for the outcome of the 115 charges to see… pic.twitter.com/sOsBekJVMu— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) September 17, 2024 According to many, the Spaniard is currently arguably the best midfielder in the world. For some even the best player. Pep Guardiola cannot imagine his squad without Rodri. However, the information that has recently appeared will send shivers down City’s gaffer’s spine – Real Madrid is keen on bringing the 28-year-old and ready to go for him next year!As per The Athletic, they are not surprised at Etihad Stadium. Moreover, they have expected Los Blancos’ move and thus are eager to extend Rodri’s contract, which expires in 2027, since the Cityzens are aware that the chances of the Spaniard’s departure would be much higher if they were found guilty for some of the 115 charges.D-Day in English football: City are finally on trial!Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, and Rodri are the “Holy Trinity” of Man City, and the club wants to keep them as long as possible. Speaking to the Spanish As a few months ago, the EURO 2024 Player of the Tournament revealed he was happy in Manchester.”I am very, very happy in England. I think I am in one of the best clubs in the world, that is obvious, and I am happy. I have a three-year contract and, when the time comes, I will see,” said Rodri.Still, everyone knows it’s not easy to say no to Florentino Perez and Real. Rodri undoubtedly knows it, too. Just like he knows he’d play for the greatest-ever club and return to his homeland, family, and friends. But before anything happens, Real, City, and Rodri will have to wait the end of the year, when the trial, as estimated, will be over.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 1Tuesday19:45: (1.85) Juventus (3.50) PSV (4.40)19:45: (5.20) Young Boys (4.10) Aston Villa (1.70)22:00: (3.80) AC Milan (3.60) Liverpool (2.05)22:00: (1.15) Bayern (8.00) Dinamo Zagreb (16.0)22:00: (1.33) Real Madrid (5.90) Stuttgart (9.50)22:00: (1.75) Sporting (3.60) Lille (4.90)Wednesday19:45: (1.95) Bologna (3.60) Shakhtar (4.30)19:45: (2.45) Sparta Praha (3.40) Salzburg (2.85)22:00: (1.37) Celtic (5.20) Slovan B.
