PSG goes all‑in on Rodri as Manchester City standoff deepens
Al Khelaïfi is monitoring the situation of the Spanish World Cup winner, who has other offers on the table. Luis Enrique wants him at any cost.
PSG is pushing hard to sign Rodri — just like several other elite European clubs — after his standout World Cup run and with only one year left on his Manchester City contract. With the possibility that he could leave Manchester, the Parisian club led by Nasser Al‑Khelaifi is watching the situation closely.
At 30 years old, Rodri would fit seamlessly into Luis Enrique’s project, which has already delivered back‑to‑back Champions League titles. PSG’s midfield has been the backbone of that success: Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz, and João Neves have been crucial in both domestic and international triumphs. Adding Rodri to that mix would elevate what many already consider the best midfield unit in world soccer.
Rodri has rejected two contract extension offers from City and is taking time to reflect on his future. Several top European clubs are circling, and City is still pushing hard to convince him to stay.
The Madrid‑born midfielder always viewed the World Cup as the moment to decide his next step. After becoming World Cup champion and MVP, he now has the leverage — and the offers — to choose his future carefully.
