On April 7, Beijing time, British "Sun" reporter Phil Thomas exclusively broke the news that the Premier League hegemon Manchester City plans to give the team's Spanish defender Rodri a substantial salary increase, and do his best to let him stay at the Etihad Stadium forever. The 27-year-old is currently earning £180,000 a week, and his contract extension will skyrocket to £300,000 a week, thus entering the top salary of Manchester City.
Due to the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Real Madrid in midweek, Pep Guardiola has made a significant rotation in the last two Premier League rounds, with Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Bench B all given at least 90 minutes of rest. However, midfielder Rodri is not in the rotation at the moment, he started both games, and it is a great gift to be substituted after 75 minutes. Because, Rodri's tactical role is too important.
So far this season, Rodri has started 40 games in all competitions for Manchester City, scoring eight goals and 11 assists in a quasi-double-double, including seven goals and seven assists in 28 Premier League games, averaging 2.04 tackles, 0.75 interceptions and 1.29 clearances per game, delivering 2,960 passes and 41 key passes, with a pass completion rate of 92%.
As a midfielder, Rodri is an indispensable midfield hub and focal point for Manchester City, as well as his ability to defend and intercept strongly, as well as his excellent footwork and first-class passing and shooting. With him or not, Manchester City are two teams entirely. The stats show that Rodri is unbeaten in 65 games in all competitions for Manchester City since losing 1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur in the 22nd round of last season's Premier League. In the three Premier League games he has missed this season, Manchester City have lost all of them.
Without De Bruyne, Foden and Bench B can be on top. Without Haaland, Alvarez could carry the burden of scoring. But without Rodri, Pep Guardiola would not have been able to find a suitable replacement for him. And this is the most important reason why other players can be rotated, but Rodri can only play continuously. Because Gua Shuai can't bear the consequences without him.
In 2022, Manchester City extended Rodri's contract for three years, extending his contract until the summer of 2027. Now, City are hoping to extend his contract until the summer of 2029, when Rodri will turn 32 and spend almost the best years of his career at the Etihad Stadium. With his presence, Manchester City's competitiveness is the most reliable guarantee.
