Overview
- Rodri, who told Spain's Onda Cero on Thursday, said he wants to return to LaLiga and did not close the door on joining Real Madrid.
- He said he has about a year left on his City deal and expects to sit down for talks, with reports listing June 2027 as the contract end date.
- Sky Sports reports Manchester City want to keep him and aim to agree a new contract with their Ballon d'Or–winning midfielder.
- Transfer reporters say Real Madrid admire him as they rebuild their midfield after Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić, and they expect a player-led decision this summer.
- He is working back from a 2024 ACL injury and says his focus is regaining top form ahead of the World Cup, which helps explain the timing of any decision.
