Rodri makes his intentions clear
Rodri has told the club directly that he wants to leave. The update was added to City's summer transfer tracker at [time] BST on 27th July 2026.
The tracker, which logs every deal and live move, now includes this development. It is a significant shift from the earlier entries this summer.
What this means for City's plans
Bernardo Silva and John Stones have already left the club this summer. Rodri's request adds another name to the outgoing list.
Enzo Maresca's squad is taking shape without some key figures from recent seasons. The first pre-season game is against Inter Milan on 1st August 2026, and the 2026-27 Premier League season starts on 23rd August.
City won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup last season but finished behind Arsenal in the league. Arsenal are the current Premier League champions. PSG hold the Champions League trophy.
The 115 charges against the club remain unresolved. No decision has been made.
