City's 3-0 defeat by Arsenal in the Community Shield laid bare the need for central midfield reinforcements, with a move for Lille's Ayyoub Bouaddi nearing completion.
Rodri leaves City having won 12 major honours, including four Premier League titles, two FA Cups, three EFL Cups and the Champions League in 2022-23. Talk of City signing 18-year-old Ayyoub Bouaddi has been rumbling all summer, and the club have reportedly held talks with the Moroccan, who would cost an estimated £85m and is said to be keen on the move. The teenager impressed at this summer's World Cup after a starring role in Lille's Champions League victory over Real Madrid in 2024 announced him on the big stage.
30-year-old said to favour a move back to SpainMaresca chasing Lille’s Bouaddi as replacementRodri looks set to complete a move to Barcelona after Manchester City accepted a bid of £65.4m from the Spanish club.The 30-year-old World Cup winner had entered the final year of his contract at the Etihad Stadium and made it clear he would like the opportunity to move to Barcelona.

Champions delight manager by ‘winning the first trophy’Maresca wants Manchester City signings to arrive soonMikel Arteta said his Arsenal players demonstrated their hunger to defend the Premier League title in their Community Shield triumph over Manchester City. Arsenal, who ended their 22-year wait last season and are seeking to win back-to-back top-flight titles for the first time since 1934-35, beat City 3-0 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff in Enzo Maresca’s first significant match in charge.Riccardo Calafiori opened the scoring after 24 seconds, the fastest goal in the competition since Bobby Owen’s strike for City in 1968, before Kai Havertz doubled Arsenal’s lead and their captain, Martin Ødegaard, completed the scoring on 48 minutes. The 3-0 defeat represented the joint-heaviest loss for a City manager in their first game in charge, with Harry Newbould the most recent to suffer a three-goal opening defeat – 4-1, also to Arsenal, in 1906. It is also Maresca’s joint-heaviest defeat as a manager in England. Continue reading...

The reigning Premier League champions laid down something of a marker with a comprehensive victory that will leave new City boss Enzo Maresca contemplating the size of the task ahead of him. First-half goals from Riccardo Calafiori and Kai Havertz set the Gunners on their way, before Odegaard iced the cake with a superb solo effort just after half-time. By his own high standards, the Norway international endured a difficult campaign last time around with injury hampering him and Eberechi Eze providing a genuine threat to his starting role.

After a successful World Cup campaign, Odegaard looks to be back to his best and a stunning display against City vindicated his decision to return to pre-season earlier than expected. ‘These moments are great for these players because it gives them a new confidence,’ Keown told TNT Sports, watching Odegaard and his teammates celebrate the win. ‘I saw Odegaard with a new swagger in his play. For large parts of last year maybe he wasn’t at his best but he certainly looked like it today, some real creativity from him. Martin Odegaard was back to his best against Man City (Picture: Getty) ‘I talked about his swagger coming back and those connections. There was nutmegs, little changes of direction, it just seems it’s all coming back again. ‘He sat the goalkeeper down beautifully for the goal, a top goalkeeper by the way. He looks like he’s comning back with a new intention, he came back earlier by all accounts. ‘He hasn’t had much of a break because he missed so much of last season so he can afford to do that. ‘The manager gave him a large chunk of this match, he’s going to come under pressure but he’s handling it really well and that’s what the manager wants.

He said: ‘Martin Odegaard looked back to his very, very best and it’s like a new, brilliant signing. Eze back up and running, like a new signing as well. Madueke had a number of injuries last season, Kai Havertz as well. ‘They probably only need one more signing and they are, by some distance, the team to beat this season.’ Odegaard, himself, meanwhile was delighted with the performance of his team and insists he and his colleagues are hungry for more trophies. Martin Odegaard scored Arsenal’s third goal against Man City (Picture: Getty) He said: ‘We played some brilliant football. Great performance and a great way to start the season. ‘I always want to help the team as much possible with goals and assists. I want to score more goals. ‘We showed our level today.
