Despite rising reports in Spain about Real Madrid moving to sign Spanish star Rodri, Manchester City broke its silence to put an end to speculation, confirming that the club has not received any official offer from "Los Blancos", and that all circulating talk is a result of the exceptional performances the player delivered in the recent World Cup.

Spanish newspaper "AS" revealed that it contacted Manchester City management to inquire about the truth of the news linking Rodri to a move to Real Madrid, especially amid increasing fan demands within the royal club to sign the Spanish midfielder during the current summer transfer window.

Pressure on Real Madrid management increased from fans and media to demand signing Rodri to coach José Mourinho's squad, demands that are not new, as they have been repeated with other names in past years, but this time they seem more urgent, backed by the player's impressive performances in the World Cup.

Manchester City officials, according to the newspaper, confirmed that the atmosphere inside the club is completely calm, and that they do not feel any concern about the player's future, especially since his contract still extends for another year, which gives the club a strong position in dealing with any future developments.

The English club stressed that it has not received any offer from Real Madrid, denying any negotiations or official contacts between the two sides, and considering that what is being raised in the media is nothing more than a natural reaction to the outstanding performance that Rodri showed in the World Cup, which confirmed his full recovery from the injury that kept him off the pitch for a long time.

The Spanish national team captain had stopped playing in the middle of last season to focus on full recovery from a knee injury, before returning strongly during the World Cup, where he delivered outstanding performances that brought his name back to the forefront of the transfer market.

Currently, Rodri is preparing to undergo a minor back surgery to treat a problem he was suffering from, but the set plan indicates his readiness to return with the start of the new season in late August, whether he stays with Manchester City or moves to another club, although the English club's management insists on keeping him.

Despite more than a month remaining until the summer transfer window closes, all scenarios are still possible. Media reports indicate that Rodri wishes to experience something new in the Spanish league, and considers wearing the Real Madrid shirt a main goal in the upcoming phase.

However, sources confirm that Real Madrid and Manchester City so far agree on one fact, that there is no progress in this file, as no meetings have been held between the two clubs, no official negotiations have started, and no agreement has been reached.

"AS" indicated that the relationship between Real Madrid and Manchester City is among the best among top European clubs, with direct and excellent communication channels, but the royal club has not yet taken any official step to sign Rodri, and there has been no contact with Manchester City management regarding the player, so all circulating news remains within the scope of speculation only.
