One of the former champions of the English Premier League — “Manchester City”, whose squad combines youth and experience through its key players, currently has Rodri at the center of the transfer market. The team’s head coach, Josep Guardiola, is seriously concerned about the possibility of losing his most reliable and strategically important player.
For many years, Rodri has played a central role in the “Citizens’” playing system, ensuring the team’s stability both in attack and defense. For this reason, the club’s management has prepared an offer to extend his current contract for another two seasons — until June 30, 2029. If the Spanish midfielder agrees to sign this deal, he could become the highest-paid midfielder in Europe.
However, even such a lucrative offer cannot fully guarantee that Rodri will stay at the Etihad. This is because Real Madrid is also interested in acquiring him. The “Royal Club’s” president, Florentino Perez, has openly stated that if necessary, he will personally meet with Rodri and hold negotiations.
At the moment, Rodri has not yet responded to Manchester City’s new contract offer. Football analysts and insiders note that the 29-year-old midfielder has not yet made a firm decision about his future.
Real Madrid’s head coach, Xabi Alonso, has paid special attention to Rodri’s place in world football. According to him, there is currently no other midfielder capable of delivering such a universal and consistent level of play as Rodri. Therefore, Real’s interest in this transfer is considered natural.
If the deal goes through, Rodri could become not only one of the most prominent central midfielders in La Liga but also a new strategic weapon for the “Royal Club” across Europe. Fans are currently following this transfer saga with great interest and anticipation.
