Manchester City’s Spanish midfielder, Rodri, has addressed swirling rumors regarding a potential summer transfer to Real Madrid. The 29-year-old made it clear that the upcoming 2026 World Cup is his sole priority at this moment.
Speaking during a press conference on Monday, Rodri emphasized that any decisions regarding his club future will be postponed until after the tournament in North America. He acknowledged that speculation is natural when a player’s contract is winding down, noting that if not for the World Cup, the situation might have evolved differently.
Rodri’s current deal with City expires at the end of next season, leaving less than a year remaining after the World Cup. Real Madrid presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme has reportedly identified the midfielder as a key target. However, Rodri remains calm and focused, currently participating in a training camp with his national teammates.
