The uncertainty over his future coincides with a dip in City’s domestic dominance. Following a 1-1 draw with West Ham, Rodri confessed to growing “frustrated” with the team’s recurring issues.
“Yes, a little frustrated, but that’s pretty much the theme this season. We’re struggling in that final third,” he added. “The ‘last third,’ as they say here in England. That quality to score the final goal. Perhaps it’s costing us a lot, but in football, the most important thing is putting the ball in the net.”
