Rodri is the most important piece in Man City’s squad that has dominated England for many years. At the age of 28, the Spanish holding midfielder is entering his prime years, and The Citizen wants to keep him at Etihad for a long time.

According to Mirror, Man City sees Rodri as the club’s top star and plans to make him one of the team’s highest-paid players. The defending Premier League champion is expected to increase Rodri’s salary to 375,000 pounds/week, equivalent to 19.5 million pounds/season.

If he accepts this offer, Rodri will become the second highest paid player in the Premier League, equal to Erling Haaland and only less than Kevin de Bruyne, who receives a salary of 400,000 pounds/week.

Rodri is currently receiving a salary of about 220,000 pounds/week. His current contract is still valid until 2027. However, with Real Madrid’s attention, Man City quickly opened negotiations to tie down their star.

This is an achievement worthy of what Rodri has done at Etihad. He is the most important player in Pep Guardiola’s system. Rodri Rodri is the scanner in front of the defense, responsible for intercepting and preventing potential threats. At the same time, the former Atletico Madrid star is also the main nucleus when Man City controls the ball. Rodri’s ability to pass and pull the ball is very important for the Etihad team.

In the 2023/24 season, Rodri only missed 4 matches. And Man City lost 3/4 matches. That shows the importance of the 28-year-old midfielder to the English champion squad. No player at Man City can take on Rodri’s duties.

Therefore, Man City fans have the right to worry when Rodri is still not in the best shape in the 2024/25 season. Rodri is currently recovering from a calf injury suffered in the Euro 2024 final. He missed Man City’s entire pre-season, but has returned to training. However, coach Guardiola confirmed that Rodri is not ready to play so he will not play in the match against Chelsea in round 1 of the Premier League.
