Manchester City are planning to offer a lucrative deal to one of their leaders

Rodri exhibits exceptional form at Manchester City in the ongoing season. The Spaniard has participated in 36 matches, during which he has scored eight goals and provided ten assists.

Although the contract of the 27-year-old player extends until 2027, the citizens are reluctant to lose him and intend to offer him new contractual terms, thereby propelling him into the top 10 highest-paid footballers in the Premier League. According to The Sun, Manchester City is contemplating offering the player a weekly salary of £300,000.

Currently, the club is not rushing with such an offer, as Rodri is fully focused on his team's performance to replicate the achievements of the previous season. Negotiations may commence in the summer, and the City will propose extending the contract until 2029 with an increased salary.

At present, the top two positions of the highest-paid footballers in the Premier League are held by Manchester City players. Kevin De Bruyne earns £400,000 per week, while Erling Haaland earns £25,000 less.

The top 10 highest-paid footballers in the Premier League currently stand as follows:

1. Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) – £400,000 per week
2. Erling Haaland (Manchester City) – £375,000 per week
3. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – £350,000 per week
4. Casemiro (Manchester United) – £340,000 per week
5. Raphael Varane (Manchester United) – £340,000 per week
6. Raheem Sterling (Chelsea) – £325,000 per week
7. Jadon Sancho (Manchester United) – £320,000 per week
8. Enzo Fernández (Chelsea) – £315,000 per week
9. Jack Grealish (Manchester City) – £300,000 per week
10. Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) – £300,000 per week

Therefore, if Rodri agrees to the City's proposal, he may remain with the citizens for a long time, thereby benefiting from an increase in salary.
