Overview
- Goal, citing transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, reported Manchester City have tabled a new contract for Rodri and would seek a large fee this summer if he turns it down.
- A separate report said City still plan next season with him, with talks due in the coming months and a sale only considered if no renewal is agreed before his deal runs through June 2027.
- Real Madrid's interest has cooled for now, with journalist Ramón Álvarez de Mon saying the club will wait until after the 2026 World Cup to decide on a move.
- After backlash to his radio remarks about not ruling out Madrid, Rodri said headlines stripped context and urged people to listen to the full interview.
- One outlet claimed Florentino Pérez has pivoted to Enzo Fernández instead, a line not widely corroborated in other reporting.
