In an effort to stave off Real Madrid’s interest, Manchester City is apparently trying to extend midfielder Rodri’s contract. City is eager to retain Rodri as a key player in their future plans and sees his recent Ballon d’Or victory as evidence of the club’s development.
Journalist Anton Meana of Cadena SER claims that City plans to complete Rodri’s contract extension prior to the completion of the current campaign. Although they are hopeful, the team is wary of Real Madrid’s interest because they know the Spanish powerhouses have the ability to entice elite players.
Rodri’s Integral Role at Manchester City
Since joining from Atlético Madrid in 2019, Rodri has become a cornerstone of City’s midfield, contributing significantly to their domestic and international successes. His Ballon d’Or accolade underscores his importance, making his retention a priority for the club.
