There are some rumors about players who will replace Rodri, whether it's just a temporary loan or a permanent purchase, we'll see who Man City will bring in this January transfer market because this club really needs a midfielder who is productive in providing passes. Man City needs improvement in order to return to their best performance not only in the EPL but also in the UCL because usually Man City is a strong candidate in the UCL so it would be a shame if Pep Guardiola is unable to bring Man City to qualify for the next round.
The problem is finding players who can be productive enough in terms of providing passes from the midfielder position in the transfer market is always not easy and even if there are players like that, they will not be the same as the quality that Rodri already has. So Manchester City also have to polish other players to be better so that some other players can also contribute in making classy passes to their front line players. Because if Manchester City cannot change this in the rest of this season, of course Manchester City will not be able to go far in the Champions League and also in the EPL this season.
Losing Rodri has really undermined the greatness that manchester city has had so far, their desire to continue to dominate the English league and UCL finally had to fail after the bad luck that befell them against Arsenal in the early season match, now the transfer market has opened and manchester city has tried to recruit several players who are considered capable of having a positive impact on their current performance, in my opinion, Guardiola previous mistake was the minimal rotation of players he did, so that when they get problems such as losing Rodri at this time there is no appropriate replacement to replace him, if we talk about the chances of winning in the EPL and UCL, actually their opportunities are wider open in the UCL this season than the EPL.
