“Joining City in 2019 is the best decision I have made in my career,” the 26-year-old Rodri said. The holding midfielder has helped City win back-to-back league titles and the League Cup twice during his three seasons at Etihad Stadium.
“Once you start winning big titles, you don’t want to stop,” said Rodri, who scored a career-high seven goals last season. “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.”
Manchester City has added striker Erling Haaland and midfielder Kalvin Phillips to manager Pep Guardiola’s squad this summer. The team’s title defense begins August 7 at West Ham.
