Man City midfielder Rodri 'calm' over new contract talks

Man City midfielder Rodri admitted he's 'calm' about new contract talks with the club and is prioritising their Premier League title race with Arsenal.

Rodri, 29, has established himself as one of the best midfielders on the planet since joining Man City back in 2019.

The 2024 Ballon d’Or winner is out of contract in the summer of 2027, however, and has been heavily linked with a return to Spain.

It’s been reported that Man City are keen on tying Rodri down to a new contract, but Rodri isn’t thinking about that at the moment.

Speaking after their 1-0 FA Cup final win over Chelsea on Saturday, the midfielder admitted he was ‘calm’ about talks and has his eye on another Premier League title.

"I'm calm," he said. "To be honest, I don't think much about my future right now because there is another priority.

“I only think about my club ending the season with the most titles possible – we have the chance to lift the Premier League – and then the World Cup."
