مانشستر سيتي يستعد لتقديم عقد جديد ضخم لرودري، لاعب ريال مدريد، سيجعله ثاني أعلى لاعب راتبًا في النادي بعد إيرلينج هالاند

• Man City determined to retain رودري
• New contract until 2029 set to be tabled
• Massive wage hike included

Last September, during a الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز fixture against أرسنال, Rodri suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament that sidelined him for the bulk of the 2024–25 campaign. He returned for the penultimate league match against AFC بورنموث and subsequently flew to the متحد States to participate in the Club كأس العالم. Impressed with Rodri’s commitment, City are set to offer him a new dealu0026nbsp;that will run through the summer of 2029, effectively shutting the door on any potential transfer to ريال مدريد in the near future, as revealed by Fabrizio Romano.u0026nbsp;

City are eager to avoid a scenario where Rodri enters the final two seasons of his existing deal without clarity over his intentions, especially with Real Madrid lurking. Historically, the club have acted decisively to retain their core players, and in Rodri’s case, they are especially conscious of his value on and off the pitch.

Inside the Etihad corridors, there is a shared belief that Rodri is not just a generational talent but also a natural candidate to one day wear the captain’s armband. As the team continues to evolve and prepare for Pep Guardiola’s eventual departure, Rodri’s maturity, professionalism, and consistency are seen as vital anchors.

Though Real Madrid have been persistent admirers of Rodri, and may revisit their plans as soon as 2026, City are optimistic that this new proposal will be enough to keep him away from Los Blancos. However, the final decision rests solely with the player, and it remains to be seen whether the 29-year-old will commit his peak years to the Cityzens or leave for a fresh challenge at the Santiago Bernabeu.u0026nbsp;
