Manchester City enjoyed an extraordinary season in which they dominated England and brought home a historic treble. The only pain came via Champions League, but the year for Guardiola's squad remained great. "Next year we're starting from zero," said the Catalan manager. For this reason, the Citizens will not stand and watch while the market moves.
The number one objective is Rodrigo, class of 1996 midfielder of Atletico Madrid. He's an untouchable player for Simeone, as he appeared 47 times this season. Guardiola has lost his head for Rodrigo, so much so that City is willing to pay the 70 million euro clause that would release the young Spaniard from his deal with Atletico Madrid. The player needs to approve this offer before the deal is complete.
