The new Ballon d’Or winner, Rodri, has a contract with Manchester City that runs until 2027. However, according to Spanish radio station Cadena SER, Manchester City hopes to renew his contract early to prevent Real Madrid from poaching him.
Cadena SER reports that Manchester City is eager to extend Rodri’s contract. Despite the fact that Rodri will be out for the entire season due to injury, the club is very satisfied with him and the overall development of the team: they have won multiple Premier League titles and one Champions League title, and Rodri’s Ballon d’Or win are all highlights in the club’s history.
For Manchester City, retaining a Ballon d’Or winner like Rodri is of great significance to the club. Therefore, they are doing everything possible to finalize the renewal as soon as possible.
Rodri is not only a key figure in Pep Guardiola’s tactical system but also helped the Spanish national team win the UEFA Nations League and the European Championship. In the face of interest from top clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester City has already taken action to ensure that Rodri does not easily leave. The club is confident that they can complete Rodri’s contract renewal before the end of this season.
According to previous reports by AS, Real Madrid hopes to strengthen their midfield, and Rodri has become a major target.
