Since Rodri arrived in 2019 for £62.5million, he has been an integral part of the success that Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City team has achieved in recent years.
The Spanish midfielder, alongside players like Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Bernando Silva, has won three Premier League titles, one FA Cup, two League Cups, a Super Cup, and the pinnacle of European football, the Champions League.
Rodri is that rare commodity, a player who can provide world-class quality and trophy-winning moments in both defensive and attacking areas.
He dictates from the centre of the park, rotating with the multi-talented centre-backs that Guardiola has constructed through the inverted full-backs, with also the ability to drop into the defensive line with no hesitation.
