Spain midfielder Rodri said ‌he is focused on the World Cup and will only address his future at Manchester City after the tournament.

The 2024 Ballon d’Or winner is entering the final year of his contract with the Premier League club and has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.

“Well, I’m trying not to make too much of it, but it is part of my job, especially when a player has been ‌nearing the ‌end of his contract for some ‌time – ⁠it’s only natural ⁠that names come up,” the 29-year-old told reporters on Monday.

“But anyway, I’m very calm, I know exactly where I stand, and yes probably if there hadn’t been a World Cup, I might be in a different situation now but with a World ⁠Cup on the horizon, my responsibility is ‌to stay focused.

“We’re here ‌to talk about the World Cup and everything that concerns ‌my future, I’ll wait until the end of ‌the World Cup.”
