Mourinho quickly brought Rodri to Real Madrid.

Immediately after reaching an agreement on a two-year contract with Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho outlined a plan to bring Rodri to the Bernabeu.

Jose Mourinho reportedly identified Rodri as his number one transfer target upon his return to manage Real Madrid, on a two-year contract.

According to Cadena SER, the Portuguese strategist wants to build a new team around the midfielder currently playing for Man City.

"The Special One" sees Rodri as the ideal player to upgrade Real Madrid's midfield.

Mourinho believes that Real Madrid needs a midfielder capable of controlling the tempo, maintaining tactical balance, and providing stability in big matches.

Rodri's top-level experience, tactical acumen, and leadership qualities are considered a perfect fit for the direction Mourinho wants to build at the Bernabeu.

The Spanish midfielder remains an irreplaceable part of Man City's system.

After several successful seasons under Pep Guardiola, Rodri has become one of the best central midfielders in the world .

He won the 2024 Ballon d'Or and played a particularly important role in England's major title wins.

Rodri's future is attracting attention as his contract extension negotiations with Man City have yet to make any clear progress.

Sources from Spain indicate that Real Madrid is closely monitoring the situation and is ready to enter the fray if an opportunity for negotiations arises.

A fee of around 60 million euros has been mentioned as a figure that could make the deal more feasible.

Man City have no intention of selling their star player. However, the Etihad Stadium club will grant Rodri's wishes, after all he has contributed.

A few months ago, Rodri spoke about the possibility of playing for Real Madrid once he left Man City, and also mentioned the greatness of "Los Blancos".

“In football, you should never say ‘never.’ The fact that I once played for Atletico doesn’t stop me from playing for Real Madrid. You can’t turn down the best clubs in the world,” Rodri said on Onda Cero a month and a half ago.

With Mourinho's revolution on the coaching bench, and Florentino Perez's transfer plans ahead of the election, the door is wide open for Rodri to join Bernabeu.
