Manchester City has begun the search for a midfielder in this summer market of 2026 to replace Rodri, who requested a transfer to FC Barcelona despite having a contract until June 2027.

The English board rejected Barcelona's initial offer of 40 million pounds and demands 80 million pounds to authorize the sale, considering Enzo Fernández, Adam Wharton, and Alex Scott to bolster Enzo Maresca's squad rotation.

Restructuring of the midfield at Manchester City after Maresca's arrival

Upon assuming the reins of Manchester City after Pep Guardiola's departure, Enzo Maresca is planning the midfield for the 2026/2027 season, factoring in the exits of Mateo Kovacic and Tijjani Reijnders. The Sky Blue leadership has confirmed the arrival of Elliot Anderson and is in talks to sign Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille for around 25 million euros.

To complete the pivot position, Maresca has set sights on Enzo Fernández, a 25-year-old midfielder from Chelsea valued at 120 million euros. The Argentine international aims to leave Stamford Bridge after missing out on the Champions League, yet Xabi Alonso will only approve his departure if the London club secures a replacement first.

Premier League alternatives: Adam Wharton and Alex Scott

The second choice at Manchester City is Adam Wharton, a 22-year-old midfielder from Crystal Palace under contract until 2029. The London club does not intend to discuss the player's departure unless a significant financial offer is made before the market closes.

The third option is Alex Scott, a 22-year-old midfielder from Bournemouth, valued at 80 million euros by the Cherries' leadership. The English player is also on Chelsea and Manchester United's transfer radars following a strong showing in the last Premier League season.

Manchester City is awaiting FC Barcelona's response to the 80 million pound demand for Rodri by the second week of August. After the departure of the Spanish international is finalized, Manchester City will engage in negotiations for Enzo Fernández, Adam Wharton, or Alex Scott to complete the final midfield reinforcement.
