Man City star Rodri opens up on his future at the club | OneFootball

Manchester City midfielder Rodri admits he would like to return to Spain before he retires.

The Spaniard’s contract at City runs until the end of next season, and discussing his future in an interview with radio station Onda Cero, he says a return to Spain is something he would like.

“I’d like to return (to Spain), obviously,” he said. “For me, La Liga is where I started. I still follow it, it’s true not as much as before, but I still follow it.

“And I have to admit that the Premier League is my weakness. I think it’s a thrilling league but at the same time very demanding, meaning it pushes you to the limit. I’ve been there for seven years now, and I’m noticing the passage of time, but for the moment I’m very happy there.”

Asked about the possibility of joining Real Madrid, Rodri says his former spell at rivals Atletico Madrid does not mean he would not move to Real.

“No, I mean, there have been many players who have gone down that path, right? And especially not directly, but over time,” he said.

“For me, you can’t turn down the best clubs in the world,” he said. “They have a fanbase that really goes all out for them, and for me, the Bernabeu is always incredible, a stadium that’s very imposing.

“I have one year left on my contract, there will come a point when we’ll have to sit down and talk.

“I’m currently recovering from an injury, and what worries me right now is my feeling, my level, how to get back to my previous level. Not the contract issue, that will come, especially with a World Cup coming up, which is crucial for reaching my level.”
