Manchester City are willing to do whatever it takes to get Rodri Hernandez to agree to extend his commitment to the English team for the future and thus prevent teams like Real Madrid from trying to sign him in the near future
Manchester City want to 'tie down' Rodrigo Hernández. The board of the English team remains firm in its desire to ensure the continuity of its midfielder beyond 2027, the date on which his current contract ends. The Spaniard has become one of the key pieces of Pep Guardiola's scheme and they have no intention of negotiating with other clubs this summer.
For this reason, the Manchester club is already preparing an attractive renewal offer, which includes doubling his current salary to make him the highest-paid player in the squad along with Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne. This means that he would reach a salary level almost unmatched in the Premier League and the rest of European football.
City want to take Rodri away from Madrid and Barça
At 28 years old, Rodri is one of the best players in the world. He has been the linchpin of a team that does not play the same without him. In addition to his great work at City, his work with the Spanish national team by winning Euro 2024 has placed him as a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or. Therefore, it is not surprising that clubs such as Real Madrid or FC Barcelona have been interested in his services. In fact, the 'merengue' player, Dani Carvajal, has said that he would sign him without any doubt to play together at the Bernabéu.
In the case of the culé team, the board has always seen his signing in a good light. The Spaniard is a midfielder with a lot of quality who would fit into Barça's ball possession philosophy, as well as being the ideal replacement for Sergio Busquets, who left Barcelona in 2023. So if they want to get him out of England next season, they will have to start their approaches now so as not to run the risk of losing him to Madrid. We will soon know what will happen with his future in the Premier League.
