The Spain international has not yet agreed a contract extension and is entering the final year of his current deal under manager Pep Guardiola who will be keen on tying him down for the foreseeable future. 

After suffering a cruciate ligament injury in September 2024, Rodri has failed to get back to his best which may have stalled talks as the club monitor his progress. 

Speaking at an awards ceremony in Madrid, his father revealed that although he does not know a lot, he believes talks could be underway. 

"If I said something I would have to kill you! 

"I can't say anything. He's very comfortable where he is. It's possible he doesn't know it (where he will play) yet.  

“He is negotiating. But I know nothing. History has yet to be written.” 

On Rodri’s injuries: "It's been tough because for a Ballon d'Or winner, suddenly stopping, then having to readjust yourself a year later and saying I want to be the same again is difficult." 

Since the start of the 2023-24 season, in which City won the treble, Rodri has missed 53 Premier League matches. The playmaker will decide his future over the coming months as he tries to stay fit and return to his past form.
