Rodri – Latest News, Stats and Stories

If you follow English football, you know Rodri is the engine pulling Manchester City’s midfield. The Spanish international, full name Rodrigo Hernández Cascante, joined City from Atlético Madrid in 2019 and quickly became Pep Guardiola’s go‑to man for balance and ball‑winning. This tag page pulls together the most useful bits about his recent games, what coaches are saying and where he might be headed next.

Rodri’s Recent Form

In the last ten Premier League matches, Rodri has completed over 900 passes with a 92% success rate – numbers that even rival the league’s top playmakers. He’s also chipped in with three goals and five assists, showing he can be a threat in the final third. What’s impressive is how often he recovers the ball in dangerous areas. In City’s 2‑1 win over Liverpool last month, he made four tackles inside the box, helping the team keep a clean sheet.

Fans love his calmness under pressure. When the ball lands on him in a tight space, he looks for the simple pass rather than trying a fancy turn. That’s why Guardiola often tells him, “play the short pass first.” The Spanish midfielder also covers a lot of ground – GPS data shows he runs about 11.4 km per game, one of the highest distances covered by any City outfield player.

What to Expect From Rodri Next Season

Looking ahead, a few storylines could shape Rodri’s next 12 months. First, the England national team will likely call him up for the upcoming Euro qualifiers. If he stays fit, he could become a regular starter alongside Declan Rice, giving England a strong double‑pivot in midfield.

Second, there’s been chatter about a possible contract extension. City’s board wants to lock him in for another five years, but Rodri’s agent hinted he’s open to a move abroad if the right club offers a bigger role. So far, no concrete offers have surfaced, but clubs like Paris Saint‑Germain and Bayern Munich have shown interest in a disciplined midfielder who can dictate tempo.

Finally, Guardiola hinted that Rodri might take on a deeper‑lying role next season, similar to how he used Fernandinho. That could mean more defensive duties, but also more freedom to launch attacks from the back. If you’re a City fan, expect to see him dropping between the centre‑backs more often, especially against teams that press high.

All in all, Rodri remains one of the Premier League’s most reliable midfielders. Whether he’s breaking up play, launching a counter‑attack, or simply keeping the ball moving, his impact is felt in every City match.
