World Cup's Best Player Rodri Is Now PSG's Top Target — and Luis Enrique Has Already Made the Call
PSG have entered the race for Rodri, named best player at the 2026 World Cup. Luis Enrique has personally requested the signing of the Manchester City midfielder, according to As.
He won the World Cup. He took home the best player award. And now Rodri has become the hottest name on the European transfer market.
PSG have entered the race for the Spanish Manchester City midfielder, according to ge, citing Spanish outlet As. Manager Luis Enrique reportedly made a personal request for the signing — he wants to further strengthen a midfield that has already delivered back-to-back Champions League titles to the Parisian club.
The problem for City? Rodri is 30 years old, his contract runs until mid-2027, and he has yet to renew. The window is wide open.
The road to the World Cup final was far from straightforward. At the start of the 2024/25 season, the midfielder suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury. The following campaign was a battle to regain rhythm and consistency. But when the moment came, he was ready — and he led Spain all the way to the title.
PSG have already taken the first steps in making contact, again according to As. Real Madrid are also in the running, turning this summer saga into a war between giants.
Anyone who followed the World Cup knows: Rodri was not just another cog in the Spanish system. He was the heart of the team. And now everyone wants that heart.
The decision over the future of the world's best player could redefine the balance of power in European football — and City still don't know whether they'll be able to hold on to what they have.
