LaLiga: Things might be different – Rodri speaks on joining Real Madrid

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has addressed rumors that he could move to Real Madrid during the summer.

Rodri said he will only consider his future after the 2026 World Cup.

By the time the tournament in North America concludes, the 29‑year‑old will have less than a year remaining on his contract with City.

Real Madrid presidential hopeful Enrique Riquelme has named Rodri as a potential transfer target.

Rodri remains focused on the World Cup, joining his teammates in a training camp.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, he said: “We’re here to talk about the World Cup. Everything that concerns my future, I’ll wait until the end of the World Cup.”

“When a player is nearing the end of his contract, it’s normal for names to come up but I am very calm, I know where I stand and if there hadn’t been a World Cup, perhaps things might be different now.”
