Manchester, August 5 – Manchester City are preparing to reward midfielder Rodri with a significant pay raise, positioning him as the club’s second-highest earner behind star striker Erling Haaland. The move is designed to secure Rodri’s future at the Etihad Stadium amid persistent transfer interest from Real Madrid.
Currently, Haaland tops City’s wage bill with a staggering £500,000-a-week salary, reflecting his vital role in the team. By elevating Rodri’s earnings, City hope to strengthen their squad stability and keep the Spanish midfielder firmly committed.
Real Madrid have long admired Rodri, but Manchester City’s proactive contract strategy demonstrates their intent to retain one of their most influential midfielders as they prepare for the challenges ahead.
