Manchester City is willing to offer high-paying contracts to retain Rodri until 2029

According to the Daily Express, Premier League giant Manchester City has submitted a sincere new contract to midfielder Rodri, hoping to keep him at the Etihad Stadium for a long time.

Rodri's existing contract with Manchester City will expire in 2027. According to the new proposal, his stay in the team will be extended to 2029, and his weekly salary will be significantly increased from the current £200,000 to more than £300,000. This move shows Manchester City's high attention and long-term dependence on the Spanish international.

Last season, Rodri won the 2024 Golden Globe Award for his outstanding performance at Manchester City, and is widely regarded as the best defensive midfielder in world football today. However, in the early 2024/25 season against Arsenal, he unfortunately suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury and had to say goodbye to the entire season in advance.

It was not until the recent match against Bournemouth that Rodri officially made a comeback and showed good form. Although Manchester City has lost no results this season - only ranked third in the Premier League, trailing Liverpool and Arsenal and losing to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final, Rodri is still a key figure in the team's future reconstruction plan.

Faced with the poaching of giants, Manchester City is determined to "retain people with money"

Due to Rodri's extremely high tactical value, many top European clubs have shown strong interest in him. To prevent talent loss, Manchester City decided to lock in the future of the midfield superstar with a heavy contract.

Club senior management knows that Rodri's return will play a crucial role, whether under the Guardiola system or in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.

In order to welcome this new event of expanding to the 32nd team, Manchester City will set off for the United States for training next month. They will have their first match on June 18, against Vidard Club from Morocco.

For Manchester City, who has just experienced a disappointing season, this will be an important stage to re-prove itself, and Rodri's return will undoubtedly become an important guarantee for the whole team to strive for the championship.
