Man City Boss Maresca Targets Next Rodri After Midfielder's Exit
Maresca said City will seek a replacement after Rodri, a World Cup winner and Ballon d'Or recipient, left after a seven-year spell.
- Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca said the club must find a "new Rodri" after the influential midfielder joined Barcelona on Tuesday, ending a seven-year spell at the Etihad Stadium.
- Rodri, the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner, departed after winning four Premier League titles and the Champions League, leaving a significant void in the squad inherited from Pep Guardiola.
- Recruitment history gives the Italian confidence, as Maresca cited successful replacements of David Silva, Sergio Aguero, and Fernandinho. "They are all similar," Maresca said, noting squad evolution is normal.
- High-Profile exits include Bernardo Silva, John Stones, and Nathan Ake, while Savinho heads to Tottenham. City's squad is undergoing considerable change as the transfer window enters its final days.
- The club has already signed Elliot Anderson for £116m and may pursue further additions before the deadline. Maresca insisted he is "not worried" about the overhaul, expecting full squad clarity once the window closes.
