Manchester City Considers Midfielder After Rodri Injury

Manchester City are facing a significant challenge following Rodri's season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained during a match against Arsenal. Pep Guardiola described Rodri as 'irreplaceable' but has indicated that the team will adapt and seek a replacement in the January transfer window. Among the potential targets is Torino midfielder Samuele Ricci, who has been impressive this season and is valued at around £30 million. Additionally, City is considering moves for Hakan Calhanoglu from Inter Milan and Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, both of whom could fill the void left by Rodri. The club's decisions will be influenced by Torino's reluctance to sell Ricci mid-season if they remain competitive. Guardiola remains committed to finding solutions to maintain the team's competitiveness despite the setback.
