Manchester City has been dealt a severe blow with the injury of Rodri, who suffered a cruciate ligament rupture. This unfortunate situation means Pep Guardiola and his squad will have to manage without the Spanish midfielder for an extended period.
The injury to Rodri has reignited old transfer speculations. According to Teamtalk, the Citizens are actively seeking a suitable replacement midfielder.
Among the candidates, the name of Inter Milan’s Nicolò Barella has resurfaced. Barella has long been an admired target of both the English club and Pep Guardiola.
