Rodri shuts down talk of Real Madrid move

Man City begin their 2024/25 Champions League campaign with a classic fixture against the team they overcame in the 2023 final to win the treble; Inter Milan.

It is one of a host of first night fixtures that sees two of European football’s biggest sides going head to head.

It seems he has no intention of discussing the matter further, however.

“So I have three more years at Man City, and nothing more to say.”

Romano also noted the midfielder’s words on what it would be like for him to win this year’s Ballon d’Or award, in a separate post on X.

“I’m very happy for everything that happen to me in the last years, winning what City won and winning the Euros with my country is just a dream”.
