Rodri admits LaLiga return hopes; discusses Man City contract plans

Manchester City midfielder Rodri admits he'd like to eventually return to LaLiga.

Former Atletico Madrid midfielder Rodri continues to be linked with Real Madrid this season.

"I'd like to return, yes, obviously," Rodri told Onda Cero.

"For me, La Liga is where I started. I still follow it, it's true not as much as before, but I still follow it. And I have to admit that the Premier League is my weakness.

"I think it's a thrilling league but at the same time very demanding, meaning it pushes you to the limit. I've been there for seven years now, and I'm noticing the passage of time, but for the moment I'm very happy there."

Rodri also said: "I'm currently recovering from an injury, and what worries me right now is my feeling, my level, how to get back to my previous level. Not the contract issue, that will come, especially with a World Cup coming up, which is crucial for reaching my level.

"Right now I'm free, well, obviously I have a year left on my contract, obviously there will be a point where we'll have to sit down and talk, have a conversation."

Rodri added: "No, I mean, there have been many players who have gone down that path (join Real Madrid as a Bosman transfer), right? And especially not directly, but over time. I mean, for me, you can't turn down the best clubs in the world.

"They have a fanbase that really goes all out for them, and for me, the Bernabeu is always incredible, a stadium that's very imposing."
