The prolonged absence of Rodrigo Hernández due to injury has left Manchester City with an evident gap in their midfield. The team managed by Pep Guardiola has experienced a decrease in performance, prompting the Spanish coach to seek immediate solutions in the market. According to reports from 'Il Messaggero', the coach has pointed to Nicolò Rovella as a top priority option to strengthen the squad.
A Midfielder Ready to Explode, Possesses Everything Guardiola Seeks
The young Italian midfielder, 23 years old, belongs to Juventus but is currently on loan to Lazio, where he is having a standout season. Under the guidance of Marco Baroni, Rovella has become a key player for the Roman team, competing for Champions League spots in Serie A and being one of the favorites to win the Europa League. His versatile profile, combining defensive ability with good ball distribution, would fit perfectly into Guardiola's system, offering a solution similar to what Rodrigo Hernández brings.
City's interest in Rovella could lead to a deal around 40 million euros, although the complexity lies in the need to terminate the loan with Lazio before the upcoming summer. If the citizens manage to unlock this situation, Rovella could become the key reinforcement to keep the team competitive in the second half of the season. Guardiola trusts in his potential as part of the new generation of Italian stars.
