Man City Move to Secure Rodri with Mega Deal Amid Madrid Links

Rana Atef Manchester City are ready to hand Rodri a massive pay rise in a new contract aimed at keeping the Ballon d'Or winner at the Etihad long-term, according to reports. The Spanish midfielder—widely regarded as the best in the world following a dominant 2024—has recently been linked with a high-profile move to Real Madrid. But City have no intention of letting their midfield general go, and have swiftly shut down any interest from the La Liga giants. Rodri is currently tied to the club until 2027, but City want clarity now—well before the final two years of his deal—by locking him down with fresh terms that reflect his importance both on and off the pitch. According to Fabrizio Romano, City have prepared a lucrative offer that would make Rodri the second-highest earner in Pep Guardiola's squad. Talks have been ongoing behind the scenes for months, with the club keen to reward not only Rodri's elite performances, but also his growing leadership role in a team undergoing a generational shift. Despite Real Madrid's interest, Romano reports that Rodri is focused on staying at City. The 29-year-old is settled in Manchester and has shown no real desire to return to La Liga at this stage of his career. Inside the Etihad, club officials believe Rodri is future captain material—someone who could lead the squad in the post-Guardiola era thanks to his consistency, mentality, and experience on the biggest stages. While nothing is signed yet and Madrid could reignite their interest in 2026 if the situation drags, all signs currently point to a long-term future in sky blue for one of City's greatest-ever midfielders. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Chelsea Removes 9 Players from Official Website

Rana Atef Chelsea have made a strong statement about the future of several players by quietly scrubbing nine names from the club's official website, signaling their potential exits as the squad reshaping continues. Despite four years of non-stop spending and a revolving door of arrivals, the Blues have once again shaken the squad. The latest to join is 19-year-old Ajax defender Jorrel Hato, signed this week for £35.5 million plus add-ons, marking Chelsea's 39th signing in just four years. But with the arrivals, exits must follow. And now, the club has essentially banished nine players from the first-team section of its website—removing their photos, profiles, and presence altogether. Among the most high-profile absences is Raheem Sterling. Signed in 2022 for £47.5 million, the England international now finds himself erased from the squad page. After falling out of favour under new boss Enzo Maresca and spending last season on loan at Arsenal, Sterling's Chelsea career appears all but over. Also missing: full-back Ben Chilwell, who returned from a loan spell at Crystal Palace, and striker Armando Broja, who's expected to join Burnley. Midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu and academy product Alfie Gilchrist have also disappeared from the site. Even more striking: seven of the nine omitted players were signed for a combined total of over £200 million—making this clear-out not just tactical, but costly. The full list of players no longer featured includes: Raheem Sterling Ben Chilwell Armando Broja Lesley Ugochukwu Alfie Gilchrist Axel Disasi Carney Chukwuemeka Renato Veiga David Datro Fofana read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
