Manchester City Denies Any Offer from Real Madrid for Rodri

Speculation continues regarding the future of Spanish star Rodri and the possibility of his transfer to Real Madrid during the current summer transfer window, following his impressive performances with the Spanish national team at the 2026 World Cup. However, Manchester City insists on retaining the player and denies any official negotiations with the royal club.

According to Spanish newspaper "AS", the publication reached out to Manchester City officials to inquire about the circulating news, where the English club confirmed that it has not received any official offer from Real Madrid, noting that the City management feels completely calm about the player's situation, especially since his contract runs until the summer of 2027.

The report added that Manchester City sees the current media buzz as a result of Rodri's outstanding performance in the World Cup, where he was awarded the tournament's Best Player. This confirms the success of his recovery program from the knee injury that sidelined him for part of last season.

Sources indicate that Rodri will undergo a minor back surgery in the coming period to address an ongoing issue. However, expectations suggest he will be ready to return by the end of August, whether he remains with Manchester City or if there are any developments regarding his future.

Despite Rodri's desire to return to Spain and don the Real Madrid jersey, reports confirm that no meetings or negotiations have taken place between Real Madrid and Manchester City so far. No agreement has been reached between the two parties, with more than a month remaining until the transfer window closes.

The source concluded that the relationship between Real Madrid and Manchester City is among the best relationships between European clubs. Therefore, any official move by the royal club to sign Rodri will start with direct communication with Manchester City's management, which has not yet occurred.
