Rodri has a final deadline to decide his future… and he is due to return to Manchester on Friday.

Journalist Hector Perez, writing for AS, revealed that Rodri’s future with Manchester City is entering a crucial phase in the coming days, pending the outcome of negotiations with Barcelona.

The report explained that if no agreement is reached between Rodri and Barcelona this week, the player is expected to return to Manchester on Friday, after which discussions will resume regarding his future with the English club.

Rodri’s future is not limited to the technical aspects; his situation is also linked to Manchester City’s leadership. His staying or leaving could influence the selection of the team’s captains within the club’s new project.

If Rodri’s departure is finalized, it could open the door for Manchester City to be active in the transfer market, especially if the club’s management decides to sign a new player to replace him in midfield.

Therefore, the coming days will be decisive in determining whether Rodri will continue his career with Manchester City or take another step closer to a move to Barcelona.
