A big piece of the future plans for Manchester City may have fallen into place

It has now been reported that Rodri is on the verge of agreeing to a new deal with City. That would be a massive boost for Manchester City as they would have locked down a key player on a new deal, which allows them to focus on improving other areas of Pep Guardiola’s squad rather than worry about what Rodri’s future plans could be. Rodri is reportedly close to renewing his contract with Manchester City.

Matteo Moretto has reported that Rodri and Manchester City are close to agreeing on a contract extension for the Ballon d’Or winner. It is also reported by Moretto that City and Rodri have been in contract negotiations for weeks. City are now preparing to accelerate the process to keep Rodri at the club.

Lastly, Moretto reports that Real Madrid remain interested in signing Rodri . But they are yet to make any official steps to potentially sign Manchester City’s midfield general. If Rodri does sign a new contract at City they will have a key leader committed to the club for what comes next.

Manchester City will be hoping to seal Rodri’s contract extension as quickly and efficiently as possible. Rodri remains one of City’s most important players, and with Bernardo Silva and John Stones set to leave the club this summer, Rodri’s importance to Pep Guardiola’s side is set to be amplified. Rodri is already vital to City given what he offers on the pitch.
