Manchester City want to keep Rodri for a record salary!

Manchester City have agreed a new deal for one of their star players, the current Ballon d'Or winner. The Spanish midfielder is set to sign one of the highest-paid players in the club's history.

The 28-year-old's current deal sees him stay at the club for another two seasons. His current salary is around £200,000 a week. However, the club's management and head coach Pep Guardiola see him as a key player for the club's long-term future.

The new deal will see Rodri stay at the Etihad Stadium until the summer of 2029 and his weekly salary is expected to increase to a record £300,000. This would make him one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League.

As a reminder, Manchester City bought Rodri from Atletico Madrid in 2019 for a whopping €70 million. Since then, the Spaniard has become a regular in Pep Guardiola's starting XI, helping the team win multiple league titles.

Rodri has made 261 official appearances for the club, scoring 26 goals and providing 31 assists. He has also been a key part of the team's success as a defensive midfielder.

Unfortunately, last season was not easy for Rodri. Various injuries prevented him from playing his best football on the pitch. This also affected the team's results. However, Rodri is now fully recovered and is preparing for the new season with great enthusiasm.

The team's head coach Pep Guardiola also sees Rodri as a player at the heart of his plans. According to him, Rodri will take the team's game to a high level with his physical strength on the pitch, high-level tactical understanding and intelligent style of play.

With this new contract, Manchester City will once again confirm its long-term plans. The extension of the contract with Rodri will undoubtedly be great news for the fans, who value this midfielder as one of the best players in the club's history.

Although a new contract has not yet been signed, negotiations between the club and the player are progressing at a high pace. An official announcement is expected in the next few weeks. With this contract, Rodri will not only secure his future, but also create the basis for Manchester City to win many new trophies.

In any case, the decision of the "City" shows that Rodri is a very important figure for them and they are doing everything possible to keep him. Rodri, in turn, has indicated that he is ready to take his career to the next level. This will undoubtedly make the coming seasons even more interesting and full of intrigue.
