Manchester City hope Rodri will accept the club's new contract offer. |
According to Sky Sports , Manchester City have made a drastic move to keep Rodri, in the context that Real Madrid are seriously considering bringing the Spanish international back to his homeland. The Etihad team is expected to give the player a contract until 2030, with a salary that will almost double, from the current £11 million/year to more than £20 million/year.
With a new salary of around £300,000/week, Rodri is expected to become the second highest paid player in the team, behind only Erling Haaland (£500,000/week). This move is not only a financial affirmation, but also shows Manchester City's absolute trust in the role and importance of the 29-year-old player.
Since joining Manchester City from Atletico Madrid in 2019 for €62.8 million, Rodri has become an integral part of Pep Guardiola's squad. However, Rodri's current contract expires in 2027, and Manchester City are concerned that Real Madrid could use this to gain access to the 2024 Ballon d'Or.
After being “destroyed” by PSG in the Club World Cup semi-finals in July, coach Xabi Alonso identified Rodri as a top target in the upcoming transfer window. The Spanish strategist believes that the Man City midfielder is the perfect piece to rebuild Real Madrid’s midfield. However, Man City will not want to lose the most important pillar in the midfield.
