Manchester City Deny Receiving Real Madrid Offer for Rodri Amid Transfer Rumors

Despite constant chatter from Spanish media about Real Madrid moving closer to signing Spanish midfielder Rodri, Manchester City have broken their silence. The club confirmed they have not received any official proposal from Los Blancos. They claim all speculation comes from Rodri's outstanding performances during the recent World Cup.

Pressure Builds on Real Madrid to Sign Rodri

Spanish outlet AS reached out to Manchester City's management to verify these claims, especially as Real Madrid supporters and media ramp up calls for José Mourinho to be given Rodri this summer. While such demands have emerged in previous years for various players, this time feels more urgent due to Rodri's World Cup form.

Inside Manchester City, the atmosphere remains calm. The club sees no reason for concern about Rodri’s future since his contract still has another year remaining. This gives them a solid position to handle whatever may happen next.

No Official Contact Between Clubs

Manchester City emphasized that no formal offer or negotiations have taken place with Real Madrid. All reports, they say, are just reactions to Rodri's excellent World Cup comeback after a long injury layoff.

Rodri had to stop playing midway through last season to fully recover from a knee injury. He made a strong return on the international stage, which reignited interest from other clubs.

Upcoming Minor Surgery and Season Preparation

Currently, Rodri is set for a small back operation to address a lingering issue. The plan suggests he will be fit for the new season's start in late August, whether he stays at Manchester City or transfers elsewhere. The club remains firm on retaining him.

Transfer Window Still Open, But Nothing Confirmed

With over a month left in the transfer window, anything could still happen. Media reports hint that Rodri desires a new challenge in Spain and aims to wear Real Madrid’s jersey next. Nevertheless, sources confirm that both clubs agree on one point: there have been no meetings, no official talks, and no agreements regarding Rodri’s move.

AS highlighted the strong relationship between Real Madrid and Manchester City, which includes clear communication channels. Yet, Real Madrid hasn’t taken any official steps towards signing Rodri, leaving all rumors unsubstantiated.
