Rodri’s father has played down the growing talk linking the Manchester City midfielder with a move to Real Madrid, insisting his son remains focused on his current club while discussions over his future continue.
The Spain international has been one of City’s key men again this season, and his form has fed the rumours in Spain that Madrid are keeping a close eye on him. With the Champions League holders regularly linked with top midfielders, Rodri has been mentioned as a possible long-term target.
However, Rodri’s father has now offered an update on the situation, making it clear there is nothing decided. He confirmed that talks are ongoing, saying: “He’s negotiating.”
The comments come amid continued uncertainty around City’s longer-term planning in midfield, with Rodri’s importance to Pep Guardiola’s side underlined whenever he is missing. Real Madrid’s interest has also been framed around their need to refresh the middle of the pitch over time.
For now, the message from Rodri’s camp is that any next step will come through formal discussions, rather than media noise. City, meanwhile, remain intent on keeping one of the Premier League’s standout midfielders at the Etihad Stadium.
