According to reports, Rodri will receive a big contract offer from Manchester City, catapulting the Spanish player into the top earners in the Premier League.

Rodri, a 27-year-old defensive midfielder, has a deal with the Treble winners that runs until 2027 and pays him about £180,000 per week.

The Sun claims that City wants to increase that and give him a salary that is closer to £300,000 per week.

They claim that Rodri is entirely focused on City’s pursuit of another Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League triple crown, and that there is no rush to finalize the agreement.

However, negotiations may begin this summer, with a two-year extension purportedly on the table to allow Rodri to play until he turns thirty-two.

With the increase in compensation, Rodri—who hasn’t experienced a loss in a game for either City or Spain since March 28 of last year—would now be among the top paid players at the Etihad Stadium.

With a weekly salary of £400,000, Kevin De Bruyne is thought to be the top earning in the Premier League, followed by star attacker Erling Haaland, who makes £375,000.

Rodri’s pay would be almost £300,000 per week, which would put him in line with Jack Grealish.

Mohamed Salah, a star for Liverpool, Casemiro, Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho, and Marcus Rashford of Manchester United, along with Raheem Sterling and Enzo Fernandez of Chelsea, all thought to make over £300,000 a week.

Since joining City in 2019, Rodri has more than justified the £62.6 million transfer fee he received from Atletico Madrid.

In addition to the three Premier League wins, he has assisted Pep Guardiola’s team in winning the FA Cup, two League Cups, the Champions League, the UEFA Suρer Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup.

When City defeated Inter Milan to win the Champions League final and clinch the treble last season, Rodri scored the game-winning goal.

Because of his impact, City’s three Premier League losses this year have occurred during Rodri’s suspension. Nevertheless, he has eight goals and twelve assists in all competitions.

Although Rodri did participate in the Community Shield match against Arsenal in August, he hasn’t played for a losing team in regular time since the Spanish national team’s March 2024 loss to Scotland in the Euro 2024 qualifying round.

In order to maintain their lead in the Premier League championship race, City defeated Crystal Palace 4-2 on Saturday afternoon. This Tuesday, they play Real Madrid in the first leg of their quarterfinal Champions League match.

Guardiola declared last month that Rodri is the greatest midfield player in the world, but he also added that because of his role, he doesn’t always get the credit.

‘I would аrgue that is beneficial if the holding midfielder doesn’t get the same acclaim as the strikers or the No 10’, stated the City boss. It is not good when a holding midfielder receives a lot of praise.

The holding midfielder needs to lead the team in play and play a beneficial role for both himself and the group. The holding midfielders are supposed to fill this function. For the guys up front who score goals, dish out assists, and so forth, they must be the only highlights.

However, Rodri is an incredible player who consistently scores goals at crucial times. Because he can do everything, he is currently by far the best midfield player in the world.

How fitting a signing. It is challenging to underestimate
