BREAKING NEWS: ‘I tried everything I could to encourage him to join Manchester City, but it appears that His mind is made up already’: Rodri has confirmed this. His international teammate has rejected the city’s offer of £60 million to join Chelsea Football Club in January. The offer was made.

Manchester City star Rodri recently shared surprising insights about his attempt to recruit a fellow player to join the Premier League champions. Despite City’s generous £60 million offer, the player chose not to come aboard, instead eyeing a move to Chelsea in the January transfer window.
Rodri admitted he tried hard to persuade his national teammate to join Pep Guardiola’s squad, but the player had already set his sights on Chelsea. This decision has puzzled fans, given City’s dominance under Guardiola, a coach known for building one of Europe’s strongest teams.
Sources close to the player revealed that he prioritizes regular playing time over money. Concerned about Guardiola’s intense rotation strategy, which sometimes sees players benched, the young star felt Chelsea’s rebuilding efforts promised more consistent opportunities to play.
Fans have reacted with mixed opinions. Some admire the player’s commitment to development and consistent minutes, while others think he’s missing out on a unique chance to learn under Guardiola. A City fan remarked, “If he wants a challenge, he’ll find it at Chelsea – but he may regret not joining a title-winning team like City.”
Meanwhile, Chelsea supporters are excited about the potential addition, seeing it as a sign the club is on track to regain past glory. City fans, however, are left wondering how this decision will affect their team’s future.
Only time will reveal whether this promising player will flourish at Chelsea or miss the title-driven atmosphere at City. This transfer saga is far from over, and the football world is eagerly following every development.
