Manchester City to Discuss Contract Extension with Rodri

This summer, Manchester City plans to engage in discussions with Rodri regarding a potential contract extension, according to sources close to the matter.

With only a year remaining on his current contract, Rodri is at risk of leaving Manchester City as a free agent in the near future if a new agreement is not reached.

In a recent statement, Rodri hinted at the possibility of joining a top-tier club like Real Madrid, sparking speculation about his future with Manchester City.

The club is eager to retain Rodri, a pivotal player in Pep Guardiola's lineup, and is taking steps to ensure his continued presence at the Etihad Stadium.

Contract negotiations were put on hold after Rodri suffered a severe knee injury in September 2024, allowing him to focus on his recovery without added pressure.

Having regained his fitness, Rodri has been a regular starter for Manchester City, participating in nine of the team's last eleven games, including a notable victory in the Carabao Cup.

Now that Rodri is nearing full recovery, the club intends to meet with his representatives to gauge his interest in extending his contract with Manchester City.

It is no secret that Rodri has considered returning to Spain to conclude his career in La Liga, a fact that Manchester City has been aware of for some time.

Since joining Manchester City from Atlético Madrid in 2019, Rodri has won an impressive eleven major trophies, cementing his value to the team.

Rodri's contract is one of two key priorities for Manchester City, with Phil Foden's contract also nearing its end; the club must also address the impending expirations of Nathan Aké and Mateo Kovacic's contracts in 2027.

As Bernardo Silva is expected to depart at the end of the season, Manchester City is exploring options to strengthen its midfield, regardless of Rodri's decision.

One potential target is Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson, although Manchester United is also vying for the England international's attention.
