Manchester City midfielder Rodri has opened the door to a potential move to Real Madrid, stating 'you cannot turn down the best clubs in the world' when questioned about his future. The Spain international, whose current contract expires in the summer of 2027, acknowledged the need for discussions with the club. While Sky Sports understands City prefer to keep Rodri and seek a new deal, the player emphasized the inevitable talks ahead.

Rodri joined City from rivals Atletico Madrid in 2019 and has become a key figure, winning multiple titles. He admitted a future La Liga return is desired but stressed his current happiness at City. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has reportedly expressed interest, though Rodri clarified Perez hasn't spoken to him directly.

City are not commenting on the interview, focusing instead on strengthening their midfield this summer, with players like Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali under consideration. Guardiola, with a year left on his own contract, has stated he won't block players wanting to leave. Rodri's 293 appearances for City include 28 goals and 32 assists across four Premier League titles and other trophies.
