Has a major spanner appeared in the summer transfer plans for Manchester City? As the second half of the 25/26 season has progressed, Rodri has gradually returned to his best for Manchester City. Rodri battled his way back after suffering a serious ACL injury last season.
His performance against Arsenal in City’s Carabao Cup final triumph at Wembley showed that City’s midfield general isn’t far off from being the player he was before he was struck down by injury. As Rodri has returned to his best, the threat of Real Madrid moving for one of Manchester City’s key players has lingered in the background. Now Rodri has spoken about the possibility of returning to Spain to play, and a host of other topics, and a major spanner could be about to be thrown into Manchester City’s summer transfer plans.
Rodri has shared his desire to play in La Liga and also touched on his City future. In an interview published by Spanish publication Onda Cero , Rodri spoke on a wide range of topics. The Manchester City midfielder spoke about the fact that after this season he only has one more year remaining on his contract with Manchester City.
He also revealed that the fact that he played for Atletico Madrid doesn’t rule him out of one day playing for Real Madrid. He said:” I have one year left on my Manchester City contract. At some point we’ll have to sit down and talk… Even though I’ve played for Atleti, [Real] Madrid isn’t a closed door for me – you can’t turn your back on the best clubs.
” Speaking on his wish to one day return to La Liga, Rodri explained: “ I would like to return to the Spanish league, I still follow it. The Premier [League] is my weakness but it is also a very demanding league. For now, I am very happy there.
