After Rodri's transfer to Barcelona, Manchester City faces a formidable task: finding his replacement. Joe Cole believes Chelsea midfielder Enzo is the ideal candidate, though he emphasizes that it might ultimately take two players to fill the void left by the Ballon d'Or winner.

For any club in world football, finding a suitable replacement for Rodri is an extremely difficult task.

Joe Cole said in an interview: "It's really hard to replace a player like that. Rodri is one of the greatest players in Premier League history, he's a very unique player. The Enzo transfer story will definitely continue because the situation now is that the player wants to leave and multiple clubs want him. Both sides have made their intentions clear, so in my opinion, it's now just a matter of money.

"Manchester City always finds a way to get money, right? As for where their money comes from, that's for the FA and others to worry about!"

Manchester City needs two players to replace Rodri's role.

Joe Cole said: "But Manchester City usually gets the players they want, and Enzo is a very good player. I think he is very suitable for this task. To replace Rodri, you need two players, even top players like Anderson and Enzo. I personally think this deal will eventually happen."
