Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca is expected to appoint a new club captain for the upcoming season. The decision comes as key senior players move on, including Bernardo Silva, who leaves the Premier League this summer and joins Real Madrid as a free agent.
Outlets also note that City could face further leadership and squad changes. Rodri is described as a player City may lose, with reporting indicating he is heavily linked with a transfer. Yahoo Sports adds that, amid the departures of experienced figures, Maresca’s choice of captain is likely to have a “clear favourite,” though the sources provided do not name the successor.
Together, the reports frame the captaincy appointment as part of a broader transition period for City under Maresca, with leadership roles shifting after multiple departures.
