Manchester City Consider €100m Move for Rodrygo as Attacking Changes Loom

Manchester City might spend €100 million for Real Madrid’s Rodrygo. Coach Pep Guardiola admires the Brazilian forward. If Rodrygo wants to leave, Real Madrid may let him go.

WHAT HAPPENED?

City plan changes in attack. Jack Grealish could be on his way to Everton, which is pursuing a loan deal for the winger this summer according to reports. James McAtee may leave, and winger Savinho could go too. Rodrygo is City’s top target because of his versatility and work rate. Madrid won’t stop a transfer if Rodrygo seeks a new challenge, asking around €100 million.

WHY CITY WANT RODRYGO

Guardiola appreciates Rodrygo’s pressing and big-game ability. Though he had less playtime last season due to competition from Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé, his talent remains invaluable. City replacing Grealish’s stability and Savinho’s threat with Rodrygo would simplify rotations.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Manchester City aim to reclaim the Premier League title and mount a strong Champions League run after finishing in third place and 3 points behind runner-ups Arsenal last season. Real Madrid’s crowded attack makes selling Rodrygo logical if he seeks a leading role. Several Premier League clubs are interested, but City’s fit and outlook make them strong contenders.

WHAT NEXT?

City’s busy schedule includes trimming their squad and adding new players. Whether Rodrygo joins City depends on him and Madrid’s willingness to negotiate. If Grealish leaves for Everton and Savinho departs, City may accelerate their plans. If Rodrygo stays at Madrid, City will consider other forwards.
