Rodri: How Man City could line up with £62m record transfer

Manchester City have completed the club record signing of Rodri from Atletico Madrid after triggering his £62.8m release clause.

The 23-year-old midfielder joins the Premier League champions on a five-year contract and will wear the No 16 shirt.

Atletico confirmed the long-awaited transfer on Wednesday, revealing that City had paid Rodri's €70m release clause.

Omar Berrada, City's chief operating officer, was pictured visiting La Liga's headquarters in Madrid to finalise the transfer. 

Rodri arrives as a long-term successor to holding midfielder Fernandinho, who will turn 35-years-old next May.

How will City line-up with Rodri and other potential new additions to the squad?
