“Rodri has proven himself to be a hugely talented, young midfielder, who has all the attributes we are looking for,” Begiristain said, City’s official website reports.

“He works hard defensively, makes himself available to receive the ball and uses it well when in possession. He is a perfect fit for Pep Guardiola’s team and we are confident he will be a success.”
