Rodri's contract with "The Citizens" runs until the summer of 2027, and recent weeks have seen speculation about a potential move to Spanish giants Real Madrid. Enrique Riquelme, a candidate for the "Los Blancos" presidency, is reportedly considering him as a potential reinforcement.
During an interview while preparing with the Spanish national team for the upcoming World Cup, Rodri acknowledged the speculation surrounding him given his contract's approaching end, but stated his preference to focus on the tournament. "I try not to give too much weight to these reports. I know they are part of our profession," he said, adding that if the World Cup wasn't happening, the situation might be different.
Rodri joined Manchester City in 2019 from Atlético Madrid and has since established himself as a key player for the team. He has won four Premier League titles with City and played a crucial role in their maiden Champions League triumph. However, he has recently battled injury issues, including a serious anterior cruciate ligament tear in September 2024.
The Spanish midfielder emphasized that his primary focus now is to prepare for the World Cup, which will be held in the USA, Mexico, and Canada from June 11th to July 19th.
"Everything related to my future will wait until after the World Cup," Rodri concluded.
