Manchester City midfielder Rodri has dismissed speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid, insisting he remains fully committed to the Premier League champions.
The newly crowned Ballon d’Or winner has recently been the subject of transfer rumours suggesting Real Madrid are interested in bringing him back to Spain.
Softfootball understands that despite the growing speculation, the Spanish international has made it clear that he is happy at Manchester City and has no immediate plans to leave the Etihad Stadium.
Rodri admitted that while he still has a strong affection for Spanish football, he has settled comfortably into life in England since joining City.
The 28-year-old revealed that he quickly fell in love with English football after making the move to the Premier League and remains delighted with his career in Manchester.
