It is reported in the English media that Manchester City is afraid that Real Madrid will try to sign Rodri and intends to make the midfielder the top earner at the club, alongside Kevin de Brauna and Erling Holland.
According to the report, the champion will offer the European national team champion 375 thousand pounds per week and will try to extend his stay at the Etihad. The 28-year-old Rodri, who is considered by many to be the best in the world in his position, has three years left on his contract, but City is interested in opening talks and extending the contract as soon as possible.

It is written that the Spaniard said during the summer that a number of Real Madrid players talked to him and tried to convince him to come and play in Madrid. Although at this point Rodri has shown no sign of wanting to return to Spain, City do not want to leave room for doubt and will try to end the saga before it even begins.
As you remember, in the summer of 2019, City activated Rodri’s release clause and paid Atletico Madrid 70 million euros. Some raised an eyebrow due to the high price, but the midfielder became one of the best in the world in his position and helped Pep Guardiola’s team win four consecutive championships, the Champions League and the FA Cup.
