Manchester City has been aware for years that Spanish international Rodri intends to finish his career in his home country, with a return to Atlético or a move to Santiago Bernabéu being potential options. The 29-year-old midfielder has approximately 15 months left on his contract, and negotiations for a new deal are not yet complete. While Manchester City considers him a key player, they are aware they may have to consider a sale if he refuses an extension, with Real Madrid reportedly waiting for an opportunity.
