English Premier League giants Manchester City Football Club are aggressively pushing ahead with contract extension talks with central midfielder Rodney in response to potential transfer market challenges, particularly strong interest from La Liga rivals Real Madrid, according to a number of authoritative media reports in England.
Rodri's current contract with City expires in 2027, but recent rumors have pointed to Real Madrid's interest in initiating plans to bring in the Spanish international next summer. Faced with such a potential threat, Manchester City FC are clearly not willing to sit back and take action quickly.
According to the latest report of the British media Givemesport, Manchester City, in order to consolidate the core position of Rodriguez in the team, and effectively resist the attempts of Real Madrid's poaching, has prepared to extend the contract between the two sides to 2029. This move not only reflects City's high recognition of Rodney's ability, but also shows the club's long-term vision in future planning.
City also plan to significantly increase Rodri's salary package in this contract extension, making him one of the highest-paid players in the team. Such a salary level is undoubtedly a kind of recognition of Rodney's performance on the field, and will also further enhance his sense of belonging and loyalty in the team.
As the current transfer market is closed, Manchester City are pressing ahead with the contract renewal process, aiming to lock in the future of this key player before the transfer window reopens. Such a decision not only helps City to maintain the stability and competitiveness of the lineup, but also lays a solid foundation for the team to continue to attack the various championship honors in the coming season.
