Manchester City Deny Receiving Any Official Offer from Real Madrid for Rodri

Despite persistent reports in Spain suggesting Real Madrid is close to making a bid for Spanish midfielder Rodri, Manchester City has firmly denied receiving any official offer. The club attributes all the speculation to Rodri's impressive performances at the recent World Cup.

Spanish outlet AS reached out to City's management to verify claims linking Rodri to the Spanish giants, especially as fan pressure mounts on Real Madrid to sign the player during this summer transfer window. Supporters and media alike have urged the club’s board to provide Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho with the midfielder, inspired by his standout form on the international stage.

City insiders describe a calm atmosphere regarding Rodri's future, noting his contract still has another year remaining. This provides them with a strong position should negotiations arise. The club confirmed there have been no formal talks or offers from Real Madrid, dismissing media chatter as reactions to Rodri's World Cup resurgence following a significant knee injury that sidelined him for much of last season.

After focusing on full recovery, Spain’s captain returned to form at the World Cup, reigniting interest across Europe. Currently, Rodri is scheduled for a minor back operation but is expected to be fit for the new season starting in late August, regardless of whether he remains at Manchester City or moves on. The club remains determined to keep him.

With over a month left before the summer transfer window closes, many possibilities remain open. Reports hint that Rodri desires a fresh challenge in La Liga, with Real Madrid as his preferred destination. Despite this, sources confirm no meetings or official negotiations have taken place between the two clubs, and no agreements are in place.

AS highlighted the positive relationship between Real Madrid and Manchester City, characterized by clear communication channels among top European teams. Still, Real Madrid has not made any formal move to acquire Rodri, leaving all reports so far purely speculative.
