Manchester City are confident of extending Rodri’s contract with a bumper deal set to be presented that will double the midfielder’s wages.
According to Football Insider, Manchester City are confident of keeping Rodri at the club for a long time, as a double-your-money deal could be presented to the midfielder. The 28-year-old star has been one of their best performers, as they want to keep hold of him despite some uncertainties surrounding Pep Guardiola’s immediate future.
Manchester City’s new deal for Rodri
Manchester City have been uncharacteristically silent in the transfer window, as many have come to suggest that could be due to their impending hearing on those 115 charges levied by the Premier League. In addition, they are also facing questions about Pep Guardiola’s long-term future, with the Spaniard into his last season at the Etihad and linked with the England job.
Irrespective of whether they make some star signings in the remainder of this window, Manchester City are eager to keep hold of their top performers, including Rodri. The club had planned on talks of a new contract for the 28-year-old mainstay a while back and could now push to get the extension done.
Rodri is set for a new bumper deal; Manchester City’s reported proposal could double his current wages. The story points to a possible £375,000-a-week takeaway for Rodri, aligning him with the club’s highest earners, such as Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland.
Manchester City know the outside interest in the Euro 2024 winner, and Guardiola’s future could play a part in the midfielder’s decision-making. To his credit, Rodri has achieved what he can at the club level, as there are mild suggestions that the interest from Real Madrid could be something he might think over.
Manchester City confident
As things stand, Manchester City are confident of keeping Rodri, and truthfully, they do not need to fear in the immediate term about his future. The midfielder still has a contract until 2027, as the new double-your-money proposal is more of a reward for his exceptional performance rather than a desperate attempt to keep him at the club.
Rodri is also settled in Manchester City and could continue his association with the club by signing the new lucrative contract the club may present. He is considered untouchable by Guardiola and the club in general, for his importance is far more significant than any other player in the side.
