According to a new report from renowned Italian journalist Niccolo Scilla, Premier League giants Manchester City are going all out to negotiate a contract extension with their central midfielder Rodri in order to secure the Spanish star's long-term stay in the team. Although Rodri's current contract with City doesn't expire until 2027, City are apparently unwilling to take any risk of losing the key player, especially in the face of strong interest from Real Madrid.
Reports suggest that Real Madrid president Florentino has shown a keen interest in Rodri since July this year, which has undoubtedly added a sense of urgency to City's contract renewal efforts. In response to this potential threat, City have offered Rodri a new contract which not only extends his contract to 2028, but also includes an option for an additional 1-year extension, showing City's high regard and confidence in Rodri's future.
As an indispensable member of Manchester City's midfield, Rodri brings great contribution to the team with his excellent skills and tactical understanding. In the transfer market, Rodri's value is as high as 130 million euros, which fully proves his strength and market value. Therefore, Manchester City hopes to stabilize the army by extending the contract, ensuring that the team can continue to maintain strong competitiveness in the next few years.
For Rodney himself, staying at Manchester City is undoubtedly an attractive option. He has already established a deep bond and tacit understanding here, and has created numerous brilliant records with his teammates. At the same time, City are willing to offer him a lucrative contract and a broader stage, so that he has the opportunity to continue to enhance his career.
However, in the face of the temptation of Real Madrid, whether Rodney will choose to renew his contract and stay in Manchester City remains an unknown. After all, Real Madrid, as one of the top giants in world football, is unrivaled in its influence and appeal. But no matter what, Manchester City will go all out to fight for Rodri's retention, laying a solid foundation for the team's future.
