Enrique Riquelme stated to AS that they spoke with Rodri's agent. He said he is aware that they subsequently have to talk to City, adding that he had said that the previous day. Riquelme also said that Rodri's circumstances differ from Haaland's, but they have to talk to City and have the utmost respect for the club.

Rodri, who has 15 months left on his contract, could leave City in the summer. It is not clear if he will continue, and he could leave the club at the same time as Guardiola.
