Manchester City continues to explore options in the market to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. In their search for offensive talent, the English club has set their sights on Rodrygo Goes, one of the key pieces of Real Madrid. Although the Brazilian has a contract with the white club and is an important player for Ancelotti, Manchester City has already begun to inquire about his possible signing.
From the citizen board, led by Pep Guardiola, they have initiated informal contacts with the player's entourage and with Real Madrid itself. Their goal is to know the price at which the merengue club might be willing to negotiate a sale. Although his release clause is officially 1 billion euros, it is speculated that an offer of 150M could open the door to negotiation.
A Strategic Signing
Rodrygo is a footballer who would fit perfectly into Manchester City's play style. His speed and versatility in attack make him an attractive profile for Guardiola, who seeks to strengthen his offense with players of proven quality.
The English club is aware that the arrival of Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid could change the landscape for the Brazilian. If his role in the team were reduced, City would take advantage of the situation to try to convince him of a change of scenery. However, so far, Rodrygo has expressed his desire to continue with the white team.
Madrid Decides
Real Madrid's official stance is clear: Rodrygo is not for sale. The club's leadership considers the Brazilian a key footballer for the present and future of the team. However, if the player were to request his departure, the white club would not opposeas long as an offer in line with his market value arrives.
Despite the rumors about his future last summer, Rodrygo reaffirmed his commitment to Real Madrid. However, in soccer, everything can change. If City decides to launch a million-dollar offer and the Brazilian feels that his prominence in the merengue team diminishes, the possibility of a transfer could gain strength.
