Chattanooga FC Overview

Rodri has sensationally moved to accelerate his departure from Manchester City by requesting a training exemption. The Spanish international is desperate to finalise a return to La Liga as negotiations between the Etihad outfit and Barcelona reach a critical tipping point.

Barcelona’s ambitious pursuit of Manchester City midfield anchor Rodri has hit yet another significant roadblock. The Catalan giants have seen a second approach dismissed by Enzo Maresca's side, who remain steadfast in their financial demands despite the player’s clear preference for a move to the Spotify Camp Nou.

Phil Foden has signed a new contract at Manchester City, which hints at a prominent role being enjoyed under Enzo Maresca, but Colin Hendry has admitted to GOAL that the Blues may be “protecting the asset”. A home-grown star at the Etihad Stadium has endured a couple of difficult years, but fresh terms will be helping to keep his asking price high.

Manchester City have officially confirmed that Belgian winger Jeremy Doku has committed his long-term future to the club by signing a new five-year contract. The fresh deal ensures the explosive attacker will remain at the Etihad Stadium until at least 2031 as the club enters a new era under manager Enzo Maresca.
