Rodri is a professional footballer who currently plays for Premier League side Manchester City. He plays as a central defensive midfielder and has been a crucial player for both Manchester City and Spain. Rodri has developed into one of the best players in the world, with many lauding his efforts in the midfield not only for his defensive play but also for how he helps his teams start counterattacks and provides attacking threats. This article talks about Rodri’s net worth and how much he earns at Manchester City.
Rodri started his youth career in the Spanish football club CF Rayo Majadahonda at the age of 10. He soon moved to Atletico Madrid’s youth academy but was released by them in 2013 due to a “lack of physical strength. The Spanish midfielder followed up his stint at Atletico Madrid by joining Villarreal. It was here that he finally got a chance to make his senior debut. He did so on 7th February 2015 against RCD Espanyol B while playing for Villarreal B.
The Spaniard left a lasting impression on Villarreal and was awarded a first-team debut on 17th December 2015 against SD Huesca. The defensive midfielder stayed at Villarreal from 2015 to 2018, honing his skills and becoming better day by day. In 2018, Atletico Madrid, the same team which had released him from their youth academy, decided to bring Rodri back to the club. Atletico had to pay around $27 Million, including add-ons, to secure the signing of Rodri.

Rodri signed his first contract with Manchester City in 2019. He agreed to a five-year deal, which was set to expire in 2024. However, after his spectacular performances for the club, the player was offered a new five-year deal in 2022, which will keep him at the club till 2027. To get the Spanish midfielder to agree to this deal, City offered him a contract worth around $280,000/week. Manchester City fans will surely feel that this salary is completely deserved for a player of Rodri’s calibre and that he is completely worth it.
There have also been rumours that Manchester City may want to tie Rodri down for even longer by offering him a new contract, one worth around $380,000/week. They currently are in no rush to give Rodri a new contract, but if he does end up signing an extension at the club, his new wage will surely help boost his net worth. The player relies on brand endorsements and such contracts as his primary sources of income, and it is through these that he has managed to accumulate a net worth of around $15.6 Million.
