Transfer News: Man City to meet Rodri’s £61m release clause

Manchester City are reportedly set to meet Atlectico Madrid midfielder Rodri’s £61m (€70m/$78m) release clause, according to  AS.

Man City Coach, Pep Guardiola sees him as the perfect candidate to anchor his midfield for the forseeable future and Rodri himself feels he is better suited to the Catalan tactician’s style of football than Diego Simeone’s.

Indeed, while the Atletico Madrid boss would prefer to keep hold of his midfield player, he does not see Rodri as an irreplaceable part of his squad.
