Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola feels that Atletico Madrid midfielder Rodri is a "great player" but refused to be drawn on whether the Premier League champions are pursuing him.
The Spain international has been strongly linked with a move to the English title holders in recent weeks ever since he reportedly told the La Liga outfit that he intends to leave ahead of the 2019-20 season.
The 23-year-old only signed for Diego Simeone's side last year, making the switch from Villarreal, and he enjoyed a fine first season as Los Rojiblancos came second behind Barcelona.
