1 / 3

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has made his intention clear: he wants a switch to Real Madrid next summer. But Real president Florentino Perez is reportedly standing firm against any approach. Despite only one year left on his Manchester City contract, Rodri has turned down renewal offers. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano notes the 31-year-old is holding out for a formal bid from Real, his boyhood club. However, Real Madrid have committed long-term to Aurelien Tchouameni. The French international recently signed a five-year extension, signaling the club’s midfield plans are already set.

It's unusual for a president to deny an approach when a player has just one year left on contract.

True, but maybe the president has good reason to protect the club's long-term plans.

I'm not sold that preventing Rodri's move is the smartest play for Real Madrid long-term.

Given the contract situation, City might be wise to open negotiations now rather than risk losing Rodri for nothing.
