Manchester City have not been at their dominant best this season and are competing to finish within the top four by the end of the season. Pep Guardiola\u2019s club might make some big changes in the summer transfer window. Amidst all these, Football Insider<\/a> has reported that Real Madrid are interested in signing City defensive midfielder Rodri in the summer.<\/p>\n

The Los Blancos have not been at their best this season, and they need a world-class defensive midfielder to dictate the tempo of their game. However, City are not ready to let the Spaniard leave the club. He is one of the most important players in the squad, and they have been heavily dependent on him. It has been evident this season, when they have struggled due to the injury that has sidelined Rodri from the game.<\/p>\n

Manchester City Are Ready To Offer A New Contract To Rodri<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Manchester City are ready to offer a new contract to the Ballon d\u2019Or 2023\/24 winner. The club want to make him feel more important and want to offer him a long-term contract to keep him in the squad. Rodri is Manchester City\u2019s midfield cornerstone and dictates pace with 91\u201392% passing success and securing 73% of tackles, underpinning Pep Guardiola\u2019s system.<\/p>\n

His vision, pressure, calmness, and decisive scoring, such as the 2023 Champions League final match-winner, powered City\u2019s four straight Premier League titles and treble. Rodri\u2019s absence since a 2024 ACL injury resulted in a 63% winning ratio compared to 76% when he plays and has revealed City\u2019s dependence.<\/p>\n

Will he accept if a new contract is offered?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At 28, Rodri\u2019s tactical intelligence and physicality are irreplaceable. Letting him go risks dismantling City\u2019s dominance, as no current replacement matches his unique blend of defensive steel and playmaking prowess.<\/p>\n

So, it is quite certain that despite the interest from Real Madrid in the Spaniard, a move to the Spanish capital won\u2019t be possible as well. The player is also aware of his importance at City and hence might be willing to agree to the new contract offer from the Premier League club.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
