Some would argue that Man City's recent performance has been bad without Rodri, and if Guardiola also thinks so, he will desperately try to keep Rodri from leaving, and as I know, when Guardiola extends his contract he has a request for Man City not to sell Rodri. But if Rodri decides to leave the door open to Real Madrid, I don't think Man City could prevent him from leaving because when the player is no longer comfortable that could create tension in the dressing room.
But still, all of this is still a rumor, and until Real Madrid actually makes an official offer or gives another statement, then the speculation will keep growing.
We will feel strange with Man City's result. That's because so far Pep has been able to perform well and does not have a bad record like this year. With great financial backing and fulfilled players who want to make Pep like the perfect angel. But this season is a little bad, Pep has struggled to compete in the EPL and UCL. Man City has difficulty without the ball, Pep's strategy has been read by Man City is difficult if he gets high pressing from the opponent. In fact, I saw that Man City's defense was very weak when losing to Tottenham. The player injury factor also makes it difficult for them to develop the game. This condition does not seem to make fans and management angry, I read that Pep's contract will be extended.
