Man City planning to double Rodri's salary with new contract offer

Concerned about Real Madrid's interest, City management is eager to secure the Spain midfielder with a new contract.

The Mirror says City plan to double Rodri's wages to around a basic £375,000-a-week - plus bonuses - to bring him close to top earner Erling Haaland.

Rodri still has three years left on his current deal, but City will not leave anything to chance.

At Real, they see the midfielder as the ideal long-term replacement for former star Toni Kroos.
