Rodri responds to Real Madrid transfer rumours
Rodri responds to Real Madrid transfer rumours. Amidst growing speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid, Manchester City midfielder Rodri has emphatically shut down any transfer rumours, reaffirming his commitment to the reigning Premier League champions.
Responding to questions about a new contract offer from City, Rodri stated, “Nothing much to say. I have three more years at Man City, and when I sign the contract, I don’t think of other teams, I just think of finishing.” He continued, “So I have three more years at Man City, and nothing more to say.”
Rodri’s clear and decisive response comes after reports emerged linking him with a potential move to Real Madrid, who are reportedly in the market for a defensive midfielder. However, the Spanish international’s statement seemingly eliminates any possibility of a move to the Santiago Bernabeu in the immediate future.
Rodri on his Ballon d’Or hopes
Speaking on Ballond’or hopes, he stated “To be honest, I’m very, very happy for everything that happened to me in the last years, winning what Man City won and winning the Euros with my country is just a dream!” He added “It’s a consequence of the hard work, consistency, and never giving up
I really feel right now that people are recognising my work and trying to push me to win the Ballon d’Or.
It’s not something I think about, to be honest. It would be a dream, of course, because I never thought I could arrive at this stage, this moment.

Rodri’s commitment to City will undoubtedly be welcome news to the club’s fans, who have witnessed his impressive rise since joining the Etihad outfit in 2019. He has become an integral part of Pep Guardiola’s team, contributing significantly to their recent domestic and continental success.
