Guardiola Eyes Spanish Star
Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Spanish defender, Javier Rodriguez, from La Liga side, Atletico Madrid. Sources close to the club suggest that Pep Guardiola is a long-time admirer of Rodriguez’s defensive prowess and tactical intelligence.
Rodriguez, 24, has been a consistent performer for Atletico Madrid over the past three seasons, helping them to win the La Liga title in 2021 and the Spanish Super Cup in 2022. He is known for his excellent tackling ability, composure on the ball, and ability to read the game.
However, Atletico Madrid are reluctant to sell their key players, and it is expected that City will have to offer a significant fee to secure Rodriguez’s services. Rumours suggest a bid of around £80 million has been discussed.
