Rodri, a Spanish international, recently agreed to a new five-year deal that will keep him with Manchester City through 2027.
After becoming a vital part of Pep Guardiola’s squad, the Premier League champions wanted to sign the midfielder to a longer contract.
The 26-year-old joined in 2019 in a £62.8 million ($70 million) deal from Atletico Madrid and has contributed significantly to back-to-back Premier League title victories.
“Joining City in 2019 is the best decision I have made in my career,” Rodri said. “I have loved every second.
“We have been very successful since I came here, which is something that makes me very proud. But to be honest, that success has made me even more hungry for me. Once you start winning big titles, you don’t want to stop.
“City, I feel, offers me the best chance of winning trophies and that’s why I am so pleased to be staying here for longer.”
