Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne believes that Rodri is the perfect signing for the club.
The defensive midfielder arrived from Atletico Madrid earlier in the summer.
He slotted in alongside De Bruyne as they claimed the Community Shield trophy over Liverpool after a penalty shootout.
And the Belgian was complimentary towards his new teammate after the game.
"He did really well. He's a perfect fit for us," De Bruyne said to reporters.
"The way that we did transfers the last years adds up. You see a lot of young talent coming in willing to play our style. I think that's what they're looking for and he's a perfect fit for us.
"I think he's the perfect DM for the way we want to play. Our DM is a really difficult position. You need certain players for it and there's not a lot of people who can do both sides of it.
"Obviously we're very good on the ball. You can't just be defensive, you have to be offensive also.
"I think the way he's performed in pre-season and in training has been phenomenal. To be the new guy and still be on this level is a good sign."
