Since joining Man City back in 2019 for a club record fee (at the time) of £62.8m, Rodri has made 260 appearances, scoring 26 goals, providing 30 assists and totalling 20,560 minutes played. The 28-year-old made history last season, becoming the player with the longest unbeaten run in club football history, going 74 games unbeaten.

With Rodri sidelined due to a serious injury, Manchester City are actively searching for a suitable replacement in the midfield. The Premier League champions have identified Valencia's Pepelu as a prime target to bolster their midfield options.
