Manchester City has set its sights on Pablo Barrios, a young promise from Atlético de Madrid, as a possible reinforcement in midfield to cover the absence of Rodri, who has left a noticeable void after his recent injury.

With the winter transfer market approaching, the Premier League champions are looking for a solution to ensure solidity in midfield, and Barrios seems to fit the characteristics that Pep Guardiola seeks in his playing system.

Manchester City seeks Rodri's replacement

While City's initial priority is signing Martín Zubimendi, difficulties in finalizing this move from Real Sociedad have led the English team to explore alternatives. In this context, Barrios, at only 20 years old, has piqued City's interest for his ability to adapt to different aspects of the game and his skill in combining creativity and aggressiveness in recovery, qualities valued by Guardiola in a midfielder.

Barrios' appeal lies not only in his youth but also in his versatility and vision of the game, factors that make him a viable option to integrate into City's dynamics. His addition would provide Guardiola with a player with growth potential, capable of quickly assimilating the demands of the Premier League and adapting to the team's challenges.

In addition to Barrios, Manchester City has also considered other names as potential reinforcements. Among the options are Federico Valverde from Real Madrid and Hugo Larsson from Eintracht Frankfurt, both with profiles that fit the demands of Guardiola's midfield. However, the interest in Barrios underscores City's focus on emerging talent, which could represent a strategic investment in both the short and long term.
