Despite serious interest from "Real Madrid", the English club has decided to start negotiations to extend the contract with the player.
Manchester City midfielder Rodri's contract with the English club expires in the summer of 2027.
According to Lent.az, citing foreign media, despite Real Madrid's interest, the "Citizens" are committed to keeping the Ballon d'Or winner.
It is reported that the Madrid club intends to sign the 29-year-old Spaniard. However, no offers have been received for Rodri yet, and there has been no contact between the clubs.
Against the background of possible transfer rumors, "Manchester City" has stepped up its efforts and decided to start negotiations on extending the contract in order not to lose its key player.
In addition, according to the source, "Manchester City" may offer a high salary and a two-year contract extension. The player will make a final decision closer to the summer.
