Manchester City will look to find a new Rodri following the Spain international’s departure for Barcelona, manager Enzo Maresca has said.
Rodri left City earlier this week after seven seasons at the Etihad Stadium, joining La Liga champions Barcelona in a deal reportedly worth around £65 million.
The 30-year-old midfielder signed a four-year contract with Barcelona after becoming one of the world’s leading players during his time in Manchester.
Rodri won four Premier League titles with City and scored the only goal in the 2023 Champions League final. He also won the 2024 Ballon d’Or and helped Spain win the World Cup during the summer.
