Rodri and Man City are very close to reaching an agreement on a contract extension. |
In March, Spanish media outlets unanimously revealed that Real Madrid wanted to bring Rodri to the Bernabeu after the 2026 World Cup. Marca claimed that the white-shirted club was closely monitoring the midfielder's fitness after his injury layoff.
Rodri also didn't shy away from questions related to Real Madrid. The 29-year-old midfielder has admitted that it's difficult to refuse offers from the world's biggest clubs. Previously, in 2024, he publicly stated that being considered by Real Madrid was a great honor.
According to AS , President Florentino Perez even contacted Rodri's brother directly to explore the possibility of a transfer. The Bernabeu club sees the Manchester City star not only as a professional addition, but also as a leader in the dressing room.
However, the matter remained at the level of interest. According to journalist Matteo Moretto, Man City never received any offer. While Real Madrid hesitated, "The Citizens" quickly seized the opportunity to push for a contract extension with Rodri, who had only one year left on his current contract.
ESPN revealed that Manchester City are aware of Rodri's desire to return to La Liga in the future, but have no intention of losing their midfield star. If Real Madrid do enter the race, the Etihad Stadium club will only accept negotiations for a minimum fee of 40 million euros.
After much deliberation with his family, Rodri decided to continue his commitment to the Premier League. Therefore, the Spanish club was forced to look for an alternative defensive midfielder this summer.
