Rodrigo Hernández Cascante (Spanish pronunciation: [roˈðɾiɣo eɾˈnandeθ kasˈkante]; born 22 June 1996), known as Rodri ([ˈroðɾi]) or Rodrigo (Spanish pronunciation: [roˈðɾiɣo]}), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for English Premier League club Manchester City and the Spain national team.

He is a former Spain youth international, and made his debut for the senior national team in 2018.

Club career

Villarreal

Born in Madrid,[5] Rodri joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup in 2007 aged 11, from CF Rayo Majadahonda.[6] Released in 2013 due to a "lack of physical strength", he subsequently signed with Villarreal CF.[7][8]

On 7 February 2015, while still a junior, Rodri made his senior debut for the reserves, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–1 away win against RCD Espanyol B in the Segunda División B.[9] He was handed his first start 15 days later, in a 2–0 victory at Real Zaragoza B.[10]

Rodri made his first-team debut on 17 December 2015, starting in a 2–0 home win against SD Huesca for that season's Copa del Rey.[11] His first La Liga appearance was on 17 April 2016, when he came on as a second-half substitute for Denis Suárez in a 2–1 away loss to Rayo Vallecano.[12]

On 4 December 2017, having already established himself as a regular, Rodri renewed his contract until 2022.[13] He scored his first goal in the Spanish top level on 18 February 2018, the opener in a 1–1 away draw against RCD Espanyol.[14]

Atlético Madrid

On 24 May 2018, Rodri returned to Atlético after the club reached an agreement with Villarreal for his transfer. He signed a five-year contract with the Madrid side,[15] for a fee in the region of €20 million plus 5 million in variables.[16] He made his debut on 15 August in the 2018 UEFA Super Cup in Tallinn, playing the first 71 minutes of a 4–2 extra-time win over city rivals Real Madrid.[17]

Manchester City

2019-2020 season

On 3 July 2019, Manchester City met the terms of Rodri's £62.6 million release clause, enabling him to buy out the remainder of his contract with Atlético and leave the club. The transfer was a new record transfer fee paid by Manchester City.[18][19] He signed a five-year contract.[20]

Rodri made his debut in the 2019 FA Community Shield on 4 August at Wembley Stadium, playing the full 90 minutes as City won on penalties against Liverpool after a 1–1 draw.[21] He made his Premier League debut against West Ham United six days later in a 5–0 away win,[22] and on 14 September he scored his first goal as consolation in a 3–2 loss away to Norwich City.[23]

It was announced in October 2019 that he would be out for a month due to a hamstring injury.[24]

On 1st March 2020, City won the League Cup at Wembley Stadium for the third time in a row, beating Aston Villa 2–1 in the final. Rodri headed in City's second goal from a corner, which ultimately turned out to be the winner.[25]

International career

After playing for Spain at under-16, under-19 and under-21 levels, Rodri was first selected by the full side on 16 March 2018 for two friendlies with Germany and Argentina.[26] He made his debut five days later, replacing Thiago Alcântara late in the 1–1 draw against Germany in Düsseldorf.[27]
