Manchester City are being linked with a wide selection of midfielders, and there’s a good reason for that.
Fernandinho’s recent injury has brought the club’s fanbaseĀ much anxiety. Given the Brazilian turns 34 years of age in less than a week, there really needs to be some succession planning.
Then there’s Ilkay Gundogan, who is repeating his Borussia Dortmund tricks of dancing around a renewal and fishing for what else may be available.
Rodri is one of the most linked, and Marca cover it today.
Pep Guardiola has been ‘dazzled’ and regards signing the player as a ‘priority’.
He’s not the only one, all of Bayern Munich, Manchester United and PSG are described as being prepared to pay the player’s ā¬70m release clause.
The decision will be down to Rodri himself, and that will only be taken at the end of the season. Other reports in recent days have insisted the 22 year old is happy where he is.
