Man City 'set to offer Rodri lucrative deal' to put him among PL highest earners
Manchester City will reportedly offer Rodri a lucrative new contract that will propel the Spanish star into the Premier League's top earners.
Defensive midfielder Rodri, 27, is already contracted to the Treble winners until 2027 on wages of around £180,000-a-week.

Kevin De Bruyne is believed to be the Premier League's highest earner on £400,000-per-week and star striker Erling Haaland gets £375,000-a-week.
Rodri's earnings would be on a par with Jack Grealish around the £300,000-a-week mark.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, Manchester United quartet Casemiro, Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, plus Chelsea pair Raheem Sterling and Enzo Fernandez are believed to earn over £300,000 each week.

He has helped Pep Guardiola's side win three Premier League titles, the FA Cup, two League Cups, the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
