Man City boss Maresca targets next Rodri after midfielder’s exit

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has expressed his intention to find a successor to midfielder Rodri following his departure to Barcelona. The 30-year-old Spaniard concluded his seven-year tenure at the club by winning multiple titles, including the Premier League, Champions League, and two FA Cups. In an interview ahead of City's upcoming Premier League match against Bournemouth, Maresca acknowledged the difficulty of replacing Rodri but stated that the club's history of successful player replacements gave him confidence that a successor could emerge.

He cited past examples, such as the arrivals of Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland, and Fernandinho, to illustrate how City has managed to adapt to losing key players. Maresca emphasized the importance of the club finding the right replacement when players leave, adding that they will continue to improve and recruit new talent during the transfer window.
