Manchester City is set to begin talks with Rodri for an improved contract to fend off interest from Real Madrid. The Premier League champions want to secure the midfielder’s future at the club and are aiming to tie him down to a new deal before Real Madrid can make a move next summer. Despite having just under three years left on his current contract, City is looking to open negotiations for an extension that has been delayed due to the transfer market activities.
Real Madrid players have been openly trying to persuade Rodri to move to the Bernabeu, with Dani Carvajal revealing that he has been urging the midfielder to leave Manchester and join the Spanish club. However, Rodri has mentioned that he has a contract with City without release clauses, making it difficult for Real to sign him. City has coped well without Rodri at the start of the new season, winning the Community Shield and their first three Premier League fixtures without him due to a hamstring injury sustained during the European Championship final.
Manchester City is expected to start negotiations with Rodri for a new contract now that the transfer window has closed. Despite interest from Real Madrid and attempts from their players to lure him back to Spain, City is determined to keep the midfielder. Rodri’s return from injury adds to the team’s strength, with City performing well in his absence at the beginning of the season, winning important matches without him on the field.
