Real Madrid's Reluctance to Sell Rodri Justified by Fresh Manchester City Injury Blow
Manchester City midfielder Rodri is set to undergo surgery on a back injury, adding to concerns over his availability and physical reliability. The 30-year-old, who has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, suffered a devastating knee injury in September 2024 and has yet to regain his best form at club level.
The latest setback has raised questions about Rodri's future, with City keen to retain him despite having only one year remaining on his contract. The club has offered him a new deal, but an agreement has not been reached, and Rodri is reportedly interested in a move to Real Madrid, which he considers a "dream."
However, Madrid officials have grown frustrated with speculation about a potential move and have privately contacted City to rule out a bid. With Rodri in a strong position, City must decide whether to lower their asking price for an immediate sale or risk losing him for free at the end of the 2026-27 season.
The possibility of signing Rodri on a free transfer next summer may appeal to Madrid, given the lack of financial risk involved. This could influence Rodri's negotiations with City as he considers his options. The midfielder's injury and uncertain future have added a new layer of complexity to the situation, with his availability and physical reliability remaining a concern.
