Transfer news – Rodri to PSG, best forget about it

Rodri, the 30-year-old Spain and Manchester City midfielder (under contract until 2027), was reported to be on Paris Saint-Germain’s radar this transfer window, even though he seemed to be edging closer to Real Madrid. The Athletic confirmed this Tuesday, however, that this is a move to set aside.

“Rodri is under contract until June 2027; while City still hopes to secure an extension, the club has not yet received a positive response from the player, who wants to move to Madrid. City does not rule out the possibility of Rodri entering the final season of his contract without renewing if no agreement is reached this summer. The 30-year-old midfielder has been linked with PSG, but sources within the French club deny any approach to City or the player’s camp, specifying that they are not looking for reinforcements in that position.”

Nothing is ever certain with a rumor, and that is the case here as well. However, several media outlets are pointing in this direction, and it is a fairly logical outcome. Signing Rodri never seemed to be a priority for a PSG side already well stocked in midfield. There are clearly other matters to explore, especially in attack.

It is possible that Paris was brought into this story in order to apply pressure in the negotiations, whether on Manchester City or Real Madrid. That could have come from the player’s camp or the Parisian club, or even both. It is part of the transfer market “game” and its various strategies. In any case, a move to France should be ruled out for now.
