Although it is somewhat quieter at the Etihad this summer compared to previous ones, there were two transfer bombs in the form of Calvin Phillips, who arrived from Leeds for 55 million euros, Rodri signed new contract.
The Premier League players were queuing up for the services of the defensive midfielder, who fought for a place in the first 11 of Gord Albion, and he chose the team where it will be the most difficult for him to succeed.
Pep Guardiola will be in for a sweet treat next season, as Rodri and Calvin Phillips will compete for the keeper of the back four.
However, the fact that Rodri is still more or less inviolable at the Etihad was confirmed today by the news that the Spaniard received a new contract that will keep him there until 2027.
The former Atletico Madrid player had a contract until 2024, so the new, improved terms were offered as insurance and a reward for a phenomenal season.
- Moving to City in 2019 is the best decision I made in my career. I loved every second spent here. The fans have been fantastic to me, I feel the support of the club and the coach pushes me forward every day. I progressed as a player and I want to thank Pep and the entire coaching staff for that. I feel that City offers me the best opportunity to win trophies and that’s why I’m happy to stay here even longer – said Rodri.
