Manchester City Ready to Try Again for Real Madrid Star Rodrygo as Premier League Side Identify €100m Star as Savinho Replacement

Manchester City will make another attempt to sign Rodrygo, with the club ready to put in a €100 million bid for the forward. According to recent reports, Manchester City aim to pursue Brazilian forward Rodrygo as their main target to strengthen their attack .

WHAT HAPPENED?

During the winter transfer window, City made an attempt to bring in Rodrygo, but Real Madrid rejected a bid from the Premier League side at the time. In the summer, City continued to push for the signature of the Brazilian forward, but after failing once again, they ended their interest.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Rodrygo, though, continues to be a backup option for City, who may see his compatriot Savinho leave to Tottenham strengthen their attack. The winger is open to a move to London and manager Pep Guardiola is willing to cut his losses on Savinho and integrate him into his squad, according to other sources.

WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER CITY AND REAL MADRID?

With the increase in interest, it is likely that City will make another bid for Rodrygo in the near future. Initially, they were interested in signing Rodrygo on a loan deal, but as ex-Barcelona boss Guardiola wanted to keep him permanently, the club is preparing a €100 million bid in the summer for the forward. The report further suggests that earlier Real Madrid were expecting not less than €120 million for one of their star forwards, but they could now accept City’s bid of €100 million following the increase in competition for Rodrygo’s signature. Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso has confirmed that Rodrygo is still part of his plans despite the transfer rumors .

Apart from City, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are also interested in Rodrygo and willing to pay over €100 million for the former Santos star.
