Man City Tipped to Rival Liverpool for Martin Zubimendi as They Seek Rodri Replacement

In order to replace the injured Rodri, Jamie Carragher has hinted that Manchester City would want Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad during the forthcoming January transfer window.

Manchester City’s title defense has been severely hampered by Rodri’s season-ending injury, which has affected their capacity to successfully manage the midfield. The loss of such a crucial player has brought attention to the need for reinforcements, and City is weighing their options as the January transfer window draws near.

Carragher’s Insight

Writing in his column for The Telegraph, Carragher noted the urgency for City to act: “The void left by Rodri means City must consider the transfer market in January. I wonder whether they will try to succeed where Liverpool failed and lure Martín Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, the player whom top European scouts evidently feel is the best No 6 available beyond the Champions League clubs. Zubimendi is Rodri’s deputy in the Spain squad too.”
