Real Madrid failed to convince the Spaniard to make the move to Madrid.
Details: According to renowned and respected journalist and insider Matteo Moretto on his X social media page, the 29-year-old Spanish defensive midfielder from Manchester City is close to extending his contract with the Citizens.
It is reported that at this moment there are no official negotiations between Real Madrid and Rodri, and the player himself wishes to remain at his current club.
