Manchester City’s Rodri is considering his future at the Etihad Stadium following Dani Carvajal’s comments urging him to join Real Madrid. Despite this, Etihad Stadium officials are expected to open negotiations with Rodri this summer for an extended and improved contract, recognizing his contributions to the club, including his Champions League final winning goal in 2023.
Rodri, currently with the Spanish national team at the European Championships, responded to Carvajal’s comments by expressing his happiness at Manchester City and the importance of making decisions with a clear rationale.
