The 2026 summer transfer window is here, and rumors surrounding Paris Saint-Germain are mounting. This time, RMC Sport reports that PSG has contacted Manchester City regarding Rodri—the 30-year-old Spanish midfielder who is under contract until 2027 and had recently been linked to Real Madrid.
“a genuine opportunity.”
Paris Saint-Germain has contacted Manchester City to inquire about the terms of a potential transfer for Rodri. In addition to Real Madrid—which already has an agreement with the player—FC Barcelona is also keen to sign him. PSG’s management is considering making a move.
While signing a midfielder this summer was not originally on the agenda—as reported by RMC Sport—the World Cup winner, who has just one year left on his contract with City, represents a genuine opportunity. Real Madrid is leading the race for this signing.
Let’s remain cautious; nothing concrete has happened yet. It is just a rumor, and we are waiting for confirmation or denial. Furthermore, even if the reports are accurate, it might not lead to anything significant. At this stage, it is merely a matter of gathering information, not an actual offer or agreement with City or Rodri.
Rodri’s future essentially comes down to a choice between Real Madrid and a contract extension with the English club, though other options are certainly possible. PSG possesses the sporting and financial clout to be a genuine contender.
However, we shouldn’t rule out the possibility that this rumor is part of a media ploy designed to pressure Real Madrid during negotiations. Such tactics happen—and let’s not forget that Real is currently edging out PSG in the race for Yan Diomande (a 19-year-old winger playing for RB Leipzig and Ivory Coast).
