Man City will have to sacrifice leader's wages to keep Rodri from leaving for Real Madrid

Earlier we reported that Manchester City are ready to make Rodri the highest paid player at the club, but to do so, the Citizens will have to cut the salary of one of the team's leaders.

According to The Sun, that would be midfielder Kevin De Bruyne. The club will ask to restructure his salary.

Yes, the salary itself will become smaller, but Manchester City are ready to offset this with favourable bonuses in the new, long-term contract of the Belgian.

However, it is not yet certain that he himself will remain in the camp of the reigning champions of England, because in the off-season he was linked with some Saudi clubs that offered De Bruyne a salary of 1 billion euros a year.

It is also believed that Rodri could also leave for Real Madrid, but so far the Spanish capital have shown no interest in the European champion, as there is simply no need to sign him.
