Terms agreed: Manchester City in advanced talks to sign £86m Rodri replacement

Can Ayyoub Bouaddi replace Rodri?

It helps that City can spend vast sums on top quality signings like Anderson and Bouaddi, but it’s going to be a very different team that takes to the pitch in the 2026/27 season, and that makes it harder to predict if the club can continue to enjoy the success of the last decade.
