At €70M, Rodri joined Man City at 23 as Fernandinho's backup. He was so good that Fernandinho eventually became the backup himself and even had to play at centre back at times.
Over the last seven years, Rodri has given everything for this badge. He has won every trophy possible, including scoring the winning goal in our first ever UEFA Champions League final win.
Now he's 30 and, if the rumours are true, wants to spend the final years of his prime back home in Spain with his family. That's a decision I can understand.
He could have stayed one more season, left for free next summer, pocketed a huge signing bonus and left Manchester City with nothing. Instead, he's reportedly willing to leave with a year still remaining on his contract, giving the club the chance to receive a substantial transfer fee. Considering everything he's has achieved, his value is still well above the €70M we paid for him.
Since returning from his ACL injury, he's also had a few fitness issues. As painful as it is to admit, relying on him every week during the most crucial part of the season is no longer guaranteed.
If he does leave, I'd rather thank him for everything he has done than call him a snake and erase seven years of greatness.
We have Elliot Anderson, Ayyoub Bouaddi is expected to arrive, and we already have Nico González. None of them are Rodri, but football moves on, and so will Manchester City.
Rodri is a Manchester City legend. If his dream is to finish his career in his home country, then he deserves our respect and gratitude not abuse.
Thank you for everything, Rodri. 🩵
