#4 Rodrigo Hernández
Manchester City have been chasing the Atletico Madrid midfielder for some time now, and they have a good reason for doing so. The 22-year-old has made a name for himself since he got promoted from the Villareal academy.

Bought by Atletico for just €20 million in 2018, Rodri's reputation has now enhanced even more as he cemented his position in the Madrid-based team. He featured 38 times as a starter, combined in both the Champions League and La Liga this term.
Diego Simeone mainly used him as a central midfielder due to the manager's preferred 4-4-2 formation. However, Rodri's defensive-mind has not changed as he recorded an impressive three tackles, 1.2 intercepts and two clearances on average per game.
Aside from his solid defensive stats, Rodri is also a reliable passer and has completed no less than 90 percent of his deliveries on an average in all competitions. However, he seems yet to find his true potential as he failed to impress in the Champions League knockout stage. Nevertheless, he is young and still has plenty of time to improve.
