Manchester City will connect the world's best footballers to a new long-term contract after a year-long negotiation, according to a new report.

Currently, much of the conversation around the Premier League giant is focused on the potential increase in the game with Pep Guardiola, with some rebuilds during the offseason.

In the middle of last season, the club brought four new signings at a cost of around £175 million, so four more additional increases are expected in the summer, then taking into account exports and supplementary signings.

Meanwhile, Manchester City officials seem to be proactive in securing the future of its existing stars, having since reached an astonishing 10-year contract with Erling Haaland earlier this year.

The latest developments involved the club's first championship in Rodri, who recovered from a serious knee injury and returned to Pep Guardiola's competitive action with his Manchester City teammates ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.

City is now preparing to hold a new contract at the Etihad Stadium after one year-long negotiations between the two sides - delayed by Spain's complex injuries, according to the latest information from the Mirror's Simon Mullock.

The report explains that Rodri's new deal will emphasize his importance to the club and his position as the world's top player, as he won the likes of Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham before his dance or victory.

He reportedly has two years left in his existing deal, with the new contract slated to keep Espanyol at Manchester City until the summer of 2029 and to push his salary to the £300,000 per week, making him the club's second largest earner, behind Erling Haaland.

Rodri, who recently conducted one of many interviews after his historical achievements at Ballon D'Or last fall, told his future to his club as he told the Spanish media that one day would be able to end his career and one day retire with Manchester City.

"It could end at Manchester City. I love football in England, and the club is great not only at the sporting level, but also at the structure," the 28-year-old told Cadena Ser in November.

"I'm very comfortable and feel so loved," he added, continuing to emphasize his love for his home country and the top flight he's ever starred in before moving to Manchester in 2019.

"But Spain is my country. I've been following La Liga and the level of the team is growing... I'm lucky to be in both and have the best coaches and in that sense, I'm very happy."

Further reports from Spain speculate Real Madrid's growing interest in his services on the latest developments in Rodri and the possibility of contract extending his possibilities in Manchester City.
