I’ll start this week by writing about Barcelona’s pursuit of Rodri, who proved he’s the best player in that position after his outstanding World Cup. As I've said many times, when Pep Guardiola explained that you won't see the best of Rodri until the World Cup—he was spot on. I thought he was fantastic for Spain, and it'd be a huge blow for Manchester City if he left.
City are going to play hardball, and I don't blame them, because I think he's got a year left on his contract. So they might keep him for another year and then let him go in the summer. But from the outside, it seems like he wants to go to Barcelona. It'd be some coup for them, because I think he'd be fantastic there.

That style of football suits Rodri perfectly. Barcelona have a similar style of play to Spain, and lots of their players are in the national team. He would easily slot into their midfield and make things happen.
