Manchester City are reportedly prepared to offer Rodri a new deal at the Etihad ahead of the new season.
The 29-year-old managed just three Premier League matches during the 2024-25 term owing to a serious knee injury sustained at the beginning of last autumn.
Rodri returned to club action at this summer's Club World Cup, featuring in the United States tournament against the likes of Al Hilal and Juventus.
The Spaniard has recently been linked with a move back to his homeland, with European giants Real Madrid eyeing up midfield reinforcements.
It is said that Los Blancos boss Xabi Alonso views Rodri as an ideal replacement for club legend Toni Kroos, who is now retired.

Man City set to offer Rodri bumper contract?
According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City are looking to fend off any interest from Real Madrid for Rodri.
The report claims that the Citizens are preparing to offer the midfield lynchpin a bumper new deal on the blue side of Manchester.
It is understood that Man City want to hand Rodri a fresh contract valid until the summer of 2029, committing his long-term future to Pep Guardiola's troops.
It is believed that the Euro 2024 winner would become the second-best paid player at the Citizens behind star striker Erling Haaland.
Rodri is supposedly yet to decide whether he wants to sign the deal, with Man City keen to show their trust in the midfielder.

Rodri gets back on the horse
After an extensive injury lay-off, Rodri returned to competitive action in late May, featuring for the final minutes of a Premier League success over Bournemouth.
The Spaniard's first start of the calendar year arrived in the United States, where the Citizens secured 5-2 Club World Cup win over Juventus.
As well as winning the Premier League title, Rodri's primary aim will be to stay fit and injury-free for the majority of the 2025-26 season.
