Manchester City seeks to renew Rodri's contract

However, the report from the renowned newspaper indicates that Manchester City is preparing for an offer from Spanish club Real Madrid to sign this year’s World Cup winner, alongside interest from other clubs that have expressed their desire to sign Rodri.

Real Madrid has long been interested in signing the 30-year-old Rodri, but the Sky Sports news network confirmed that French club Paris Saint-Germain does not plan to sign the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner, contrary to reports that emerged last week. The Parisian club does not intend to make any changes to its midfield during the current summer transfer window. PSG appears completely satisfied with its current options, particularly with the trio of Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz, and João Neves, who played a prominent role in the team retaining both the French League title and the UEFA Champions League.

Manchester City’s management believes it is essential to retain Rodri, whose contract with the Sky Blues has only one year remaining.

It is worth noting that Rodri is currently injured and is expected to miss the start of the season to recover from minor back surgery he underwent after his participation with his national team in the 2026 World Cup.
