Manchester City Identify Two Candidates to Replace Rodri
As Manchester City prepares for life without their midfield linchpin Rodri, who is likely to miss the rest of the season due to a cruciate ligament injury, the club has reportedly zeroed in on two potential replacements during the January transfer window.
According to The Telegraph, City’s shortlist includes 25-year-old Real Sociedad midfielder Martín Zubimendi and 25-year-old Atalanta star Éderson Silva. Both players are known for their defensive solidity and ability to dictate play from deep, traits that make them ideal candidates to fill Rodri's void.
The report adds that Pep Guardiola is personally interested in both players, highlighting the importance of securing a high-quality replacement to maintain City’s midfield balance as they compete on multiple fronts this season.
