Spanish national team member Rodri has extended his current agreement with "Man City". The new five-year contract signed by the midfielder will keep him at the "Etihad" stadium until 2027. Goal.com reports this.
The 26-year-old player was transferred from Atletico Madrid in 2019 for 62.8 million pounds sterling. During this time, he has become one of the key figures in Pep Guardiola's team and won the English Premier League title twice in a row.
«Joining "City" in 2019 was the best decision of my career. I have enjoyed every second spent here.
We have achieved great success, but these victories have made me even hungrier. Once you start winning big trophies, you don't want to stop», — Rodri said.
Guardiola has highly praised the Spanish player's role in the team's future. Last season, Rodri won the competition against Fernandinho and secured a permanent place in the center of the defensive midfield.
The veteran Brazilian footballer left the club as a free agent in the summer.
Competition for Rodri is expected to intensify in the new season. This is because England national team member Kalvin Phillips joined the "Citizens" from "Leeds" for 42 million pounds.
