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 extend his contract early to prevent Real Madrid from poaching him.
Cadena SER reports that Manchester City is eager to renew Rodri’s contract ahead of schedule. Despite Rodri being out for the entire season due to injury, the club is very satisfied with both him and the overall development of the team: multiple consecutive Premier League titles, 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 Rodri’s contract extension as soon as possible.
Rodri is not only a key figure in 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 about completing Rodri’s contract extension 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.
