Despite a very attractive extension offer from Manchester City , which would offer him two more years and a salary equivalent to Erling Haaland's, Rodri has not yet made a decision and leaves doubts about his intentions. According to the newspaper AS , this uncertainty is fueling the growing interest of Real Madrid , who are looking for a top-level defensive midfielder, and who see the 29-year-old Spanish international as the ideal candidate for the position.
Born in Madrid and captain of the Spanish national team, the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner appeals to both Xabi Alonso and the Real Madrid management. For City, a departure would be a huge blow, as Rodri is a central figure in Guardiola's system, and his importance was more than evident during the 2023 Champions League triumph, where he scored the decisive goal in the final. While a move from Manchester City was considered unthinkable a few months ago, this possibility would now represent a credible threat for the Sky Blues.
