Man City crushed Real Madrid's dream

Manchester City has made a drastic move to keep Rodrigo, one of the irreplaceable links in coach Pep Guardiola's squad.

Man City prevented Rodri from going to Real Madrid.

With Real Madrid reportedly seriously considering bringing the Spain international back to his homeland, the English club acted swiftly and decisively. According to Fichajes , Man City have offered Rodri a contract extension until 2030, with his salary nearly doubling from the current €11 million to over €20 million a year.

If accepted, Rodri will become the second highest-paid player at the Etihad, behind only Erling Haaland. The move is not only a financial statement, but also demonstrates the club's absolute trust in the 29-year-old's role and importance.

Man City do not only want to keep Rodri with money. The club's board also gave assurances about his leadership role, influence in the dressing room and a sporting plan around him for the next 5 years.

Real Madrid also admitted that this deal is very complicated. With Rodri's contract until 2027 and his irreplaceable position in Guardiola's tactical system, the possibility of the current La Liga runner-up bringing the midfielder born in 1996 to Bernabeu is impossible. However, "Los Blancos" are still persistent in pursuing the former Atletico Madrid star and will negotiate with Man City as soon as the opportunity arises.
