Ranking The Best Football Transfers In Europe During Summer 2019/20
10. Rodri Hernandez - Manchester City
At 34-years old, Manchester City legend Fernandinho is very much past his very best. In a league that is as fast and ferocious as the Premier League, it won't be long before the Brazilian can no longer keep up. However, with a manager like Pep Guardiola in charge, you can be sure that City had something up their sleeve to rectify this inevitable problem.
Rodri only had one season at Atletico Madrid after moving from Villareal, but Guardiola was quick to spend the money to pick him up. The 23-year old is, for lack of a better term, a Pep Guardiola style player. He is tactically astute, willing to do the dirty work if needed and plays his defensive midfield role perfectly.
In a footballing world filled with flamboyant skills and maverick players, Rodri is a throwback to the days of keeping it simple and working hard for your team. Guardiola is a harsh taskmaster and will expect everything Rodri already has, plus more. However, his former coach, Diego Simeone, is far from easy on his players and if Rodri can impress someone like him, then he's got a chance with the Man City boss.
