Manchester City are actively searching for a player to complement Rodri in their midfield. The need for a reliable back-up for Rodri has become apparent due to injury concerns and suspensions for the Spanish international. Names like Joshua Kimmich and Bruno Guimaraes have emerged as potential targets for City in their quest to strengthen their midfield ranks.

Guimaraes, with his ability to play both as a number six or a number eight, is seen as a versatile option for City. There is a reported interest from Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain as well, indicating competition for the Brazilian midfielder. However, Guimaraes’ release clause of £100 million could pose a major obstacle for any club looking to secure his services.

In addition to their pursuit of new talent, Manchester City are also focused on retaining key players such as Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne. There are concerns about De Bruyne’s future at the Etihad Stadium as he approaches the final year of his contract, with interest from the Saudi Pro League potentially complicating his situation. Despite their interest in new signings, City will prioritize keeping their core players intact for the future.
