Manchester City is working to secure the long-term future of their crucial midfielder, Rodri, due to increasing interest from Real Madrid. Reports suggest that City has started discussions about a contract extension with the Spanish international, aiming to offer him a substantial new deal.
Rodri, who moved to Manchester City from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2019, has become a key figure in Pep Guardiola’s midfield. Although he still has three years left on his current contract, City wants to prolong his stay and significantly increase his wages to deter interest from Real Madrid.
Real Madrid, known for pursuing top talent, have shown interest in Rodri, recognizing his value in midfield. With Guardiola’s contract ending at the season’s close and potential uncertainty surrounding his future, City is eager to secure Rodri’s commitment to their long-term plans. The club’s efforts to renew Rodri’s contract indicate their intention to keep essential players and ensure stability, regardless of possible managerial changes. Real Madrid will likely keep a close watch on the situation and may act if contract talks with City falter.
