'Man City offer Rodri new contract'
Manchester City have offered Rodri a new contract, according to Fabrizio Romano.
It is claimed that Real Madrid are interested in the 29-year-old.
If the Spain international rejects City's new deal, then Pep Guardiola's side would reportedly still ask for a big fee this summer despite his contract being up at the end of next season.
Last month, Rodri refused to rule out a future move to Real when he leaves Man City.
He played for Atletico Madrid earlier in his career, but he insists that would not prevent him from joining their city rivals should the opportunity arise.
He told radio station Onda Cero: There are more players who have taken that path. Not directly, but over time. You cant turn down the best clubs in the world.
Rodri, who joined City in 2019, admits he would like to return to play in his homeland one day.
He said: I would like to return, yes, obviously.

'Rogers open to leaving Aston Villa this summer'
Morgan Rogers is open to leaving Aston Villa this summer, according to The Sun.
It is claimed that Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are all long-standing admirers of the 23-year-old, while Manchester United are also interested.
But despite Rogers signing a new six-year deal at Villa in November, the report says 'there is an understanding between him and Villa bosses that this summer is probably the right time to part ways'.

Rogers, who was awarded PFA Young Player of the Year last season, is also on course to be part of England's 2026 World Cup squad.

Gerrard advised Salah not to leave 'under cloud'
Steven Gerrard has revealed he advised Mohamed Salah not to leave Liverpool "under a cloud" following the Egyptian's public fallout with manager Arne Slot.
Salah announced last week he will depart Anfield in the summer after agreeing to end his contract a year early.
The 33-year-old has endured a difficult season and claimed during a post-match interview in December to have been "thrown under the bus" by Slot, having been dropped to the bench amid a poor run of results.
"I spoke to him around that interview at the time and sort of said to him, 'don't do what you've done and go under a cloud'," said Gerrard, speaking on The Overlap podcast.
"I spoke to him direct. He texts me now and again, or I text him - more to do with if I'm going somewhere with Lio (Gerrard's son), just so Lio can see him, really, but I'm not like close to him.
"But it gave me the opportunity to say to him, 'Look, you've been here eight, nine years, you've been king here, you've got this legacy, just go on your terms, the right way'.
"He was still a little bit emotional from the incident. He was in and out of the team at the time, he was upset. I just thought it would be a shame if he left in January and he just left (without a goodbye)."
Former Reds captain Gerrard believes it is in "everyone's best interests" for Salah, who has scored 255 goals in 435 appearances for the club, to leave at the end of the campaign.
Gerrard believes the forward will ultimately regret his explosive interview, which followed being an unused substitute in a 3-3 draw at Leeds on December 6.
Asked if he was shocked by news of Salah's imminent departure, the 45-year-old replied: "No, not at all. I think it's in everyone's best interests now. I think the timing's right.
"He's obviously had a disagreement with the manager. I don't know at what level. He's obviously done the interview, which I think he'll regret further down the line. But that told that there was an issue there."

But Liverpool will face competition for Diomande's signature.

'Chelsea players unhappy with Fernandez'
Chelsea players have been left unimpressed by Enzo Fernandezs leadership during a run of four consecutive defeats, according to The Telegraph.
The midfielder, who is vice-captain and has been skipper in Reece James' absence, has reportedly been vocal in the dressing room after the recent losses to Paris Saint-Germain, Newcastle and Everton.
It is claimed he has also berated his own team-mates on the pitch, which has annoyed some of his colleagues at a time when the club needs to pull together.
The Argentina international cast doubt on his future in the immediate aftermath of the Champions League last 16 loss to PSG.
He has five years to run on the contract he signed when joining for a then-British record fee of 106.8m in 2023, but hinted to ESPN Argentina that the next few months could be his last at Stamford Bridge.
