Manchester City entered a new era after Pep Guardiola's departure and with Enzo Maresca on the bench. The Italian coach took over the team in June and this is already his third time working within the club's structures. He described his role as a pleasant challenge, given that he arrives after a ten-year period under Guardiola's leadership. teraz.sk ↗
One of the new coach's first topics is the situation surrounding Rodri. The thirty-year-old Spanish midfielder must undergo back surgery next week. In the previous season he was troubled by several health problems, yet he still helped Spain win the title at the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, where he was captain in the final victory over Argentina.

Speculation has also emerged around Rodri about possible interest from Real Madrid, though according to a German source, Maresca remains calm. The question of his availability is also important for City because, from a British perspective, the club is addressing a broader squad rebuild after a long period of stability. sport.sk ↗
Manchester City has also secured the services of Abdukodir Khusanov. The twenty-two-year-old Uzbek international defender, who has been at the Etihad Stadium since January 2025, has signed a new contract until 2031. After a serious injury, he became one of the team's defensive mainstays. The coming weeks will show how Maresca sets up the lineup without a fully available Rodri and how he makes use of the stabilized defense as the club enters the post-Guardiola era. BBC News ↗
