Jamie Carragher backs Man City to win Premier League title

Title Challenge And Squad Investment

Arsenal enter the new campaign as defending champions after strengthening their powerful squad. Manchester City finished second last season and responded with significant summer investment.

The arrival of Elliot Anderson has refreshed the midfield options at the club. Enzo Maresca also inherits elite match-winners such as Erling Haaland and Phil Foden.

The Importance Of Midfielder Rodri

For Carragher, keeping midfielder Rodri remains the crucial factor for City. He questioned why the club would consider selling their star player for around £40 million.

"If you’re City, what’s the point in selling Rodri? What’s the point? Just get another year out of him and let him go for free," Carragher stated.

Fresh Ideas Under Enzo Maresca

Carragher argued that Maresca does not need to completely rebuild the squad. The new manager only needs to refresh a team that stayed competitive during an inconsistent campaign.

TalkSPORT reports that City’s title prospects would weaken if Rodri joins Real Madrid. However, keeping the Spain international gives City enough quality to reclaim the trophy.
