The City, by in front of the Barça in the career by the signing of Rodri Hernández

It does some months initiated a very ambitious project with the look put in the Champions, but this summer the Athletic of Madrid faces a dangerous escape of talents. Several of the key pieces of his staff will abandon Wanda Metropolitan when it finish the season, and each day brings new news on the footballers that think to do the cases in the capital. The 'colchoneros' do not win for discontents.

The next aim of the market estival is Rodrigo Hernández, that arrived of the Villarreal by something more than 20 million euros and has exploded in the centre of the field of Diego Simeone. To his 22 years, the Madrilenian has confirmed the big perspectives of the experts, and has begun to show even to the absolute Spanish selection, where Luis Enrique has given him more than an opportunity.

The Asturian considers that the youngster can be the ideal relief for Sergio Busquets, because it shares a lot of qualities with the midfield player of Badia. His tactical discipline, his reading of the defensive needs and an interesting capacity to deliver the balloon have called the attention of the ex Barcelona trainer, and also, obviously, of the FC Barcelona.

The problem for the culés is that his signing goes very pursued, and more taking into account that his clause of rescission 'hardly' rises to 70 million euros. This is a figure that could scare to some beaux of half level, but that has not moved away to others like the Bayern of Munich or the Manchester City, that is, for the time being, the main favourite to do with his services.

According to several means, Rodri will play next year in the Etihad Stadium, since the Catalans contacted with his surroundings to value a possible contracting and the answer was that the negotiations with the 'sky blues' are very advanced. The champion of the Premier League has to the pivote like an aim prioritario, and is need would have decanted the scales.

Guardiola Sees in Rodri to the relief of Fernandinho

Pep Guardiola carries long looking for to a spare for Fernandinho, and now would have found it in Rodri. The one of Santpedor needs a closing with this type of qualities because the Brazilian already has 34 years, and after tempting to Saúl Ñíguez, would have seen an even better opportunity in his mate, that after a campaign ilusionante in the Athletic could put course to England.
