The absence of Spanish midfielder and 2024 Ballon d’Or Rodri is no stranger to this. The defensive midfielder has established himself for several seasons as the real hub of the Skyblues.
However, Pep Guadiola will have to do without his maestro until the end of the season. This is the reason why the Catalan coach is keen to replace him, starting this winter.
According to the information from Daily Mailthe Brazilian midfielder from Newcastle would be the priority of the reigning English champions. But attracting the former Olympique Lyonnais player to Manchester will not be an easy task.
The Magpies are counting on their player who is considered a key element of the squad. In addition, its price is quite high since the Daily Mail suggests that a transfer below 100 million euros is unthinkable. The Citizens will have to pay a sum of at least 100 million euros to afford the player.
To be continued. The Brazil international is currently under contract until June 2028.
