Manchester City’s main focus in the upcoming transfer window is finding a replacement for Rodri, and Pep Guardiola is eager to address this issue. Despite their success in the transfer market, the team still lacks a suitable backup for Rodri. The Spaniard is likely the top choice for the City team lineup due to his crucial role in midfield. However, his talent and importance also mean that the team is dependent on him. In the past two seasons, Rodri has hardly missed any matches and expressed the need for a break in April. This summer, his goal is to assist in securing a European championship for Spain before heading into a club season that features a larger Champions League tournament and the Club World Cup at the end of the season. Rodri’s need for a break is likely to become even more urgent in the following months, as he may be reaching a breaking point. Additionally, it is essential for Manchester City to address the issue of providing support for Rodri and making a significant decision on a potential £100m transfer in the upcoming summer transfer window. Man City and Pep Guardiola are taking a significant risk with a transfer decision. It is essential for City to make the signing of a midfielder their top priority. Despite making efforts to improve the situation by adding Kalvin Phillips, the £45 million deal did not go as planned and it seems likely that his future lies away from the Etihad. His slow start, lack of support from his manager, and a disappointing loan spell at West Ham have all contributed to the bleak prospects for his career at City. Last summer, Guardiola opted to sign Matheus Nunes from Wolves for £53 million.
