Manchester City, considered one of the most stable and strongest teams in European football, has decided to sign a new contract with one of its central figures, Rodri, according to English media reports. This decision further clarifies the future of the player, who has become one of the leaders of the Spanish national team in recent years.
According to the new agreement to be signed with the 29-year-old talented midfielder, he will remain at the Etihad at least until June 30, 2029. This agreement is being made amid serious interest from Real Madrid. The Madrid club has repeatedly expressed its desire to add Rodri to its ranks, which has forced City management to take matters into their own hands.
Reportedly, Rodri's current contract runs until the summer of 2027. However, the club has decided to extend this period by another two years. With this, the Citizens want to retain a player who plays an important role in their playing style.
It is noteworthy that if Rodri accepts the proposed new contract, he will become one of the highest-paid players at the club. Currently, the top earner is Norwegian superstar striker Erling Haaland.
Rodri moved to Manchester City from Atlético Madrid in 2019 and has since become a core part of the team. With his versatile style of play, precise ball control, and tactical intelligence, he has contributed directly to many of the club's successes. However, last season, due to a serious injury, he was unable to play for several months, which further highlighted his importance on the field.
According to reliable sources in England and Spain, Rodri himself has indicated that despite offers from Real, he prefers to continue his career at Manchester City. In particular, he believes he can achieve even greater success under head coach Pep Guardiola.
So, if both parties reach an agreement, Rodri’s future will be linked with City for another four years. This will not only please the team’s supporters but could also have a significant impact on the balance of power in the Premier League.
