Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca says Rodri is expected to return to Manchester next week while uncertainty continues around the Spain midfielder’s future. Multiple outlets report Rodri is in the final year of his contract at the Etihad, and that his post-World Cup status is closely watched as the transfer window progresses.

Maresca does not present a single, definitive outcome. He indicates there are no discussions about Rodri’s future within the club and plays down the need for concern about speculation. At the same time, he acknowledges that “anything can happen,” and leaves the door open to the possibility of a move.

Several reports also reference Barcelona’s interest, including City rejecting a proposed €45 million offer from the Spanish club. Other outlets note the possibility of Real Madrid interest as well, and one report adds that Rodri has undergone surgery information amid the exit speculation, though details are not fully consistent across coverage.
