He wants paying, this is the ultimate PR response.

Doubt Rodri's priority is to get more money from us. Not all players have a cynical mindset. Of course, his salary should reflect his status in the game. Normal things.

Edit: Apparently, Rodri is not in the top 30 of the highest paid players in Europe... That we are paying more money to Grealish who is more of a squad player and Stones who has played fewer games than Rodri despite arriving 3 years before Rodri is a mistake.

I am really surprised at how the Arsenal team and management have not been called out for their role in Rodri’s injury. In the game when he got injured they were clearly targeting him and it was no surprise when he had to leave the field injured. It was not a horror tackle but they certainly played a big part in him bing crocked.
If he was still available we would probably be top of the table, unbeaten and long odds on for a fifth title win. Kuntz.

Indeed. I'm not surprised because City don't tend to do that and the media turn a blind eye to the crimes, skulduggery and misdemeanours of the red cartel.

50m says they won't but for the benefit of the club a full summers R&R for the players and staff would be far more beneficial.

Also I would think we will be signing several new players over the summer and a full pre-season for them at their new club would be a huge plus.
 
OK RM wants him but what's the price ?

He has contract till 2027, this year and +2, like Pep.

By that time he will be 31, which means that most (if not all) of his prime years will be behind.

And here we are talking about a best player in the world football right now, whose influence is huge.
Even 100m is nothing for City, like keep Rodri and let him go for free in 2027 is still the best option.
Because it means that we will have prime Rodri for 2 years, probably we will have a big chance to win CL once again and other trophies as well.

So RM has to pay at least 200-250m, so that City considered the offer. Otherwise Rodri has the contract and he should also understand that the best player can't be sold for 100m, it should be the transfer record like it was for Ronaldo in 2008 and other ones.

And considering those Madrid bustards prefer free transfers and try to spend less during the recent years, I think that their strategy will be to take Rodri for free in 2027.

Why?

Also, Tolmie, about an hour ago, said 5 year deals for Haaland and Rodri have been prepared, and both are expected to sign.

Because fuck Real Madrid. Pretty much the long and short of it.

Not saying I think he's going anywhere and if Tolm is right then that would tie a lovely little bow in what has been a genuinely incredible three weeks for me.

If Rodri ever leaves us for Real Madrid then I'm going to think a hell of a lot less of him.

He ain't gonna. But he's a Spanish lad, Madrid born so obviously when they come calling it's gonna mean something to him! Just like if united called me when I was 18... It would have said a lot about my ability. But I still would have told them to fuck off!
