Manchester City have identified AS Roma midfielder Manu Kone as a primary target to reinforce their central midfield following Rodri and Tijjani Reijnders' departure. The French international was previously linked with Manchester United, but The Cityzens are now seriously considering a move worth up to €60m.
Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has expressed his immense satisfaction following the club's successful pursuit of Rodri, describing the midfielder as a transformational addition to his squad. The German tactician believes the Spanish international brings a unique set of skills that will elevate the entire team's performance as they prepare for the new campaign.
Rodri's move from Manchester City to Barcelona looks like a humiliation for Real Madrid. After all, the capital club had previously made great efforts to sign the midfielder, but in the end Rodri decided in favour of Barcelona. But Real coach Jose Mourinho does not accept that interpretation.
