Manchester City, the top English club, has taken action after Rodri, their key midfielder, was reportedly attracting interest from Real Madrid.
On 28 July 2026, Manchester City, a leading Premier League club under Italian coach Enzo Maresca, responded following reports that Rodri, the Spanish World Cup-winning midfielder, was attracting interest from Real Madrid, the giant of Spain's La Liga.
According to The Guardian, the Manchester club hopes that Rodri will decide to sign a new contract with the team, as his current deal is set to expire in June 2027, just one year away.
Furthermore, Manchester City is preparing to face offers from Real Madrid for the Spanish midfielder, and they expect other clubs will also show interest in the 30-year-old star. However, their primary focus remains on keeping Rodri as a club asset.
