This is certainly the biggest issue of this summer transfer window. Recently crowned with Spain during the 2026 World Cup, Rodri unleashes passions while his contract at Manchester City runs until June 2027. Real Madrid’s priority for several weeks, the Spanish midfielder is coming out of an exceptional World Cup after a more complicated last season. Building on this XXL tournament and considered one of the references in his position, the 30-year-old player logically arouses desire, and not only that of the Merengues.
According to the latest information from RMC SportParis Saint-Germain has, in fact, been invited into this heated issue. The Parisian leaders would have contacted Manchester City in order to find out the conditions of a possible transfer of Rodri. If the recruitment of a midfielder was not among PSG’s priorities this summer, the profile of the Spanish Ballon d’Or represents a market opportunity that the capital club does not wish to miss.

From then on, Paris is studying the feasibility of the operation, without having yet made an official offer. Despite this interest, Real Madrid remains clearly ahead in this matter. The Madrid club has been working on the track leading to Rodri for several months and appears to be the player’s preferred destination. The Spanish international would also give his preference to a transfer to Casa Blanca, a choice which would place Real in a position of strength against its competitors.
While Manchester City still hopes to extend their protégé and FC Barcelona is also following the situation closely despite limited finances, the reigning double European champions have therefore decided to invite themselves to the table of contenders. An operation which remains, despite everything, very complex since in addition to having to find common ground with Manchester City on a significant transfer fee, the French champion will also have to convince a player whose priority remains to this day to join Real Madrid.
