Manchester City could be set to make one of the blockbuster moves of the summer, with Real Madrid’s Brazilian star Rodrygo emerging as their dream target. According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Pep Guardiola is a huge admirer of the 23-year-old winger and is prepared to pounce following imminent exits at the Etihad.
With Jack Grealish already gone and midfield talents James McAtee and Savinho also expected to depart soon, City are looking to refresh their attacking options — and Rodrygo sits firmly at the top of their wishlist.
Romano reports that Real Madrid would be willing to sanction Rodrygo’s departure if the player himself decides to leave, with a fee in the region of €100 million being discussed. However, the situation is far from straightforward, as the Brazilian international is said to be happy in Madrid and finds it emotionally difficult to say goodbye to the club where he has won multiple major honours.
City have made a habit of making big statements in the transfer market in recent years, and should this deal progress, it would be yet another power move by them.
