Rodri's Potential Exit from Man City Could Lead to Enzo Fernandez's Move

Rodri's potential exit from Manchester City has become a key narrative in the 2026 summer transfer window, with FC Barcelona actively pursuing him. His departure could set off a chain reaction, prompting Manchester City to target Enzo Fernandez to reunite him with manager Enzo Maresca.

While Maresca anticipates Rodri's return for training, the midfielder's future seems likely to be outside England. Barcelona is negotiating a fee around €55 million (approximately $60 million USD) with Manchester City, possibly including a player in the deal.

Reports indicate that Manchester City's interest in Enzo Fernandez is substantial, driven by Maresca's previous experience managing him at Chelsea. Fernandez's situation at Chelsea is uncertain, and he reportedly prefers a move to Manchester City. Chelsea's asking price for Fernandez is set at £120 million (around $156 million USD), but this may be negotiable as the transfer window deadline approaches.
