The Real Madrid's interest in signing Rodri seems to have "cooled off," and a recent controversy surrounding the Ballon d'Or ceremony has been key in distancing the Spanish midfielder from a possible transfer to the "Merengues." According to Givemesport, the absence of Real Madrid at the ceremony, due to Vinicius Junior not being awarded, is said to have been perceived as a lack of respect by Rodri's entourage, which could influence his decision to stay at Manchester City in the long term.

Rodri, who arrived at Manchester City in 2019 and has been instrumental in the team's recent successes under the direction of Pep Guardiola, is seen by Real Madrid as a reinforcement that could strengthen their midfield. However, with Tchouaméni already in their ranks, and considering Rodri's contract extension with City until 2027, any move to attract him would require a significant strategy, something that now seems more complex.

Rodri will stay at Manchester City

Guardiola's team, aware of Rodri's value and his performance as a defensive midfielder, is working to secure his stay and is already negotiating a contract that reinforces his long-term commitment to the English club. Additionally, the injury the player is currently going through could give both parties the necessary time to define a solid agreement that prevents any tempting offers from other European giants.

Rodri's crucial role at City and the recent controversy with Madrid put the Premier League champions in a favorable position to retain him. Thus, Manchester City aims to solidify its midfield and strengthen its bond with the player who has been a cornerstone of their recent triumphs, avoiding any distraction that Madrid's interest could cause to the player.
