Manchester City<\/b><\/a> midfielder Rodri says he will wait until after the World Cup to sort out his future at the club amid links to Real Madrid.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Spain international has a year left on his contract at City and has previously indicated he would like to return to play in his homeland at some stage.<\/p>\n

Rodri, 29, has emerged as a potential transfer target should Real Madrid presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme get elected.<\/p>\n

Riquelme is challenging incumbent Florentino Perez in this weekend’s election.<\/p>\n

“With a World Cup ahead, my responsibility is to stay focused,” Rodri told a news conference.<\/p>\n

“Anything related to my future will wait until after the World Cup.”<\/p>\n

Rodri joined City from Atletico Madrid in 2019 and has played a key role in the club’s recent success, winning four Premier League four titles and the Champions League once.<\/p>\n

He won the Ballon d’Or in 2024<\/a> although he struggled with injuries since he suffered a cruciate ligament tear in September 2024.<\/p>\n

Rodri said he will not “give too much importance” to rumours about his future as it “part of the job”.<\/p>\n

“When a player is approaching the final stage of his contract, it’s normal for names to be mentioned,” he added.<\/p>\n

“I’m very calm, I know exactly where I stand, and I’ll tell you that perhaps if there hadn’t been a World Cup, things might be different now.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
