Manchester City have formally offered Rodri a new contract extension amid growing interest from Real Madrid. This was revealed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle.
The development comes shortly after the midfielder admitted he would be open to a future move to Madrid, sparking widespread transfer speculation.
Romano revealed:
Understand Man City have offered a new contract to Rodri. Real Madrid are interested in Rodri; decision up to the player, family involved too. If Rodri rejects new deal, City would still ask for a big fee this summer; or leave on a free in 2027.
Softfootball understands that Rodri’s current deal runs until 2027, placing City in a strong negotiating position. If the Spanish international declines the new offer, the club could demand a significant transfer fee this summer rather than risk losing him for free when his contract expires.
The decision is expected to depend heavily on Rodri and his family, as he weighs continuing his successful spell in England against a potential return to Spain.
The Ballon d’Or winner, who hails from Madrid, remains a crucial figure in City’s midfield, and the club are keen to secure his long-term future as part of their ongoing dominance in domestic and European competitions.
Meanwhile, teammate Bernardo Silva has reportedly made a final decision to leave Manchester City at the end of the season. The Portuguese playmaker is set to become a free agent in June and is preparing to assess offers from multiple clubs across Europe and beyond.
Silva’s intention to depart has been clear since January, with previous reports indicating he would evaluate his next move once the campaign concludes. His exit would mark the end of a highly successful period at City, where he has been a key contributor to the club’s recent achievements.
As City push to secure Rodri’s future, they simultaneously face the challenge of replacing a departing senior figure, signaling a potentially significant transition period for the squad.
