"Real are interested, but if Rodri refuses the new contract offer, City are still expected to demand a large fee for this summer, or keep him for one more year before letting him go for free."
Manchester City have offered Rodri a new contract while his current deal still has just over a year left. Rodri is a defensive midfielder who also contributes as an attacking threat. He will turn 30 this summer and faces a major decision. He has spoken openly about the possibility of playing for Real Madrid, but he remains emotionally connected to Manchester City, where he developed into a top player and won major trophies, including the treble in 2023 and the Ballon d'Or in 2024. After an ACL injury, his role in Pep Guardiola’s team has diminished during the 2024-25 season, though City still perform better with him. Real are interested, and if he declines, City expect a large fee or to keep him for another year before a free transfer.
