Transfer and contract issues surrounding Manchester City midfielder Rodri have returned to the spotlight. According to reports, the 29-year-old Spanish holding midfielder could sign a new deal with the 'Citizens' in the near future.
Journalist Matteo Moretto reported this news. The source notes that while Real Madrid has shown serious interest in Rodri, they have not yet made an official bid to sign him. Thus, there is interest from the Madrid side, but no concrete actions have been taken yet.
Meanwhile, Rodri is close to extending his contract with Manchester City. A final decision is expected soon. If the deal goes through, it will be crucial news for Pep Guardiola's team, as Rodri is a key figure in City's tactical system.
The Spanish international plays a vital role in controlling the midfield, initiating attacks, breaking the opponent's press, and balancing defense and attack. His absence inevitably impacts Manchester City's performance.
For context, Rodri suffered an injury in April. Consequently, he has missed the 'Citizens'' last four matches. This situation has naturally caused concern among fans, as the absence of such a high-caliber player during the decisive phase of the season is a significant blow.
Nevertheless, it is clear that the club intends to commit to a long-term future with Rodri. This once again confirms how solid the player's position is at Manchester City.
This season, Rodri has made 31 appearances across all competitions, scoring 2 goals. Although his value is measured more by his game management and stability rather than goals, Rodri remains one of the most important cogs in the City machine.
In short, there is interest from Real Madrid, but Rodri currently appears closer to Manchester City. If a new contract is signed, it will bring great relief to both Guardiola and the club's supporters. When stability is needed in the center of the pitch, Rodri remains the most reliable option.
