Rodri next club odds: Real Madrid and Barcelona locked in battle for Man City star

Rodri's outstanding performances at the 2026 World Cup have reignited speculation over his Manchester City future, with Barcelona and Real Madrid now battling to sign one of the world's best midfielders.

The Spaniard reminded everyone of his quality after winning the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player, having returned to his very best following two injury-disrupted seasons at club level.

With Barcelona now emerging as the betting favourites ahead of Real Madrid, Rodri's future has become one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer.

Where will Rodri end up this summer?

Barcelona have surged into 1/6 favourites to sign Rodri this summer after reports emerged claiming the Catalan giants have already held talks with the midfielder's representatives over the framework of a potential move. Their dramatic move in the market reflects growing confidence that they could lure the Ballon d'Or winner back to Spain.

Real Madrid remain firmly in contention at 4/1. Los Blancos have admired Rodri for some time, and reports earlier this summer suggested the player would be open to a move to the Bernabeu despite his previous ties with Atletico Madrid. With uncertainty surrounding the long-term futures of several midfielders, Madrid still have every reason to pursue a deal.

Manchester City, meanwhile, are priced at 8/1 to retain Rodri beyond the transfer window. Enzo Maresca's side reportedly offered the Spain international a new contract earlier this year, and while no agreement has yet been reached, City will be determined to keep hold of the midfielder who has been central to their success over the past seven seasons.

Barcelona's position at the head of the market represents a significant shift. Real Madrid had previously been viewed as the overwhelming favourites to sign Rodri should he leave the Etihad Stadium, but fresh reports claiming the LaLiga champions have opened discussions with his camp have transformed the betting landscape in a matter of days.

For now, Barcelona hold the advantage, but with Madrid continuing to monitor the situation and City still hopeful of convincing Rodri to commit his future, this is a transfer saga that looks set to remain one of the biggest stories until the window closes.
