The rise of a titan in the field
Currently, Rodrigo Hernández has stood out as one of the most outstanding soccer players globally. Although he lacks the media hype that surrounds players like his Manchester City teammate, Erling Braut Haaland, or Kylian Mbappé, the Spaniard’s performance is undeniable. Without a doubt, he has emerged as an extremely decisive player and his career is full of success.
The path to excellence
Rodrigo Hernández has played 80 games recently, of which he has only seen defeat on one occasion. Pep Guardiola, always complimentary of him, does not hesitate to describe him as a fundamental pillar at Manchester City. Teams from all over the world would like to have the former Atlético de Madrid and Villarreal player in their ranks, who has not stopped improving, especially in his offensive game, where he has learned to be differential.
Unrivaled performance and statistics
Last season, Rodrigo Hernández scored nine goals and offered 14 assists, acting as a pivot. These extraordinary figures have led many to suggest that he deserves the Ballon d’Or, especially after being named MVP of the Euro Cup. At the Etihad Stadium, he is already considered a legend, especially after scoring the decisive goal that gave the club its first Champions League.
Uncertain future at Manchester City
Despite his success with Manchester City, there is a possibility that Rodrigo Hernández will end his relationship with the English club. After winning all the titles in the Premier League, he could be considering new opportunities in his career, possibly coinciding with the departure of Pep Guardiola in 2025. This situation has generated interest in several big teams looking to attract the talented Spanish footballer.
The interest of Real Madrid
One of the clubs most attentive to this situation is Real Madrid, where Florentino Pérez has a deep admiration for Rodri. The club president considers that his arrival would further enhance figures such as Fede Valverde and Jude Bellingham. Although Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouaméni have covered this position well, Rodrigo Hernández is seen as a high-caliber signing.
From the Santiago Bernabéu, they have no doubt that, if the opportunity arises, they would be willing to make a significant investment to ensure the incorporation of Rodrigo Hernández. His ability and experience have made him a priority target for many elite clubs.
