Rodri is uncertain over his future at Manchester City, so says the player's father.

The Spain international won the Ballon d'Or in 2024, having been instrumental to Man City's success as well as La Roja's Euros triumph.

However, Rodri spent the majority of last season sidelined with an ACL injury.

He is now featuring regularly again for City, though there are suggestions the 29-year-old may leave the club, with his deal up in 2027.

Real Madrid are among the teams linked with a move for Rodri, and his father, Antonio Hernandez, has added fuel to the fire, despite saying his son is comfortable at City.

After jokingly telling reporters, "If I told you, I'd have to kill you," when quizzed about his son's next move, he added: "I can't say anything. He's very comfortable where he is.

"It's possible he [Rodri] doesn't know it [where he will play] yet.

"He is negotiating. But I know nothing. History has yet to be written.

"It's been tough because for a Ballon d'Or winner, suddenly stopping, then having to readjust yourself a year later and saying I want to be the same again is difficult.

"This year has been very tough, but he has recovered well from not playing for a year. There's always some muscle issue. But he's incredibly eager to go to the World Cup.

"He's training really well, and you only have to look at him to see it. He came back to playing and in his first match, he was almost the same Rodri he used to be, so the confidence we, as a family, have in him is absolute.

"Now we're asking him to manage his efforts a bit to get back into form and be ready for the World Cup."

Since the start of the 2023-24 season, in which City won the treble, Rodri has missed 53 Premier League matches.

City have won 31 of those (58.5%). Their league win rate with Rodri in the team in that time is 71.3% (62 wins from 87 matches).

Rodri has made 10 league starts this season, playing 14 times in total.
