Manchester City's Golden Ball-winning midfielder's value has dropped four consecutive times, now only half of his peak value, with just one year left on his contract.

On March 9th, Transfermarkt率先 updated the market values of Premier League players, with Manchester City's Golden Ball-winning midfielder Rodri's value dropping from 75 million euros to 65 million euros, another decrease of 10 million euros.

2024 was a career-defining year for Rodri, reaching his peak, as he won the footballer's highest individual honor - the Golden Ball, and his Transfermarkt value also peaked at a staggering 130 million euros.

Peak and低谷 arrived simultaneously; in 2024, Rodri suffered a severe cruciate ligament injury. From September 2024 to now, over a year and a half, this Golden Ball-winning midfielder was absent for 343 days. Even after returning, his form declined significantly, nearly making costly mistakes in several Manchester City matches, with recent performances showing slight improvement. During this period, Rodri's value suffered four consecutive drops, from 130 million euros at his peak to the current 65 million euros, exactly half.

With injuries and advancing age, Rodri is unlikely to return to his peak form. His contract has only one year left, until 2027, meaning this summer he enters the final contract year. He has not renewed with Manchester City yet and has been frequently linked with Real Madrid. What will Rodri's future hold?

A strong team continuously renews itself. Rodri is aging, but Manchester City's new signings this season have been impressive. In this Transfermarkt update, Cherki increased by 15 million euros, Semenyo and Guehi both rose by 10 million euros. We hope Rodri recovers his health and form, and希望 he renews with Manchester City, but一切 depends on the player's wishes. Of course, we also wish Manchester City continued success and more titles this season.
