Reports have now revealed that Man City have made a shocking transfer move for one of the star players available this summer.
Man City are reportedly weighing up a move for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo as they prepare for a series of squad departures this summer.
With reports of Jack Grealish already confirmed to be on his way out, and both James McAtee and Savinho potentially set to leave, Pep Guardiola is believed to be targeting the Brazilian as a marquee addition to his attacking options.
Sources indicate that Guardiola is a long-time admirer of Rodrygo, whose versatility, pace, and composure in the final third make him an ideal fit and star player for Man City’s fluid attacking system.
The 23-year-old, who has been pivotal for Real Madrid in recent seasons, is said to be on the club’s “dream target” list as they look to refresh their front line.
While Rodrygo remains an important figure at the Santiago Bernabéu, reports suggest Real Madrid are open to his departure if the player wishes to leave.
The asking price is understood to be around €100 million, a figure that would make him one of City’s most expensive signings should a deal materialize.
Manchester City’s pursuit will likely depend on player interest, given that Rodrygo has consistently expressed his satisfaction at Madrid.
However, with Guardiola’s reputation for elevating attacking talent and the prospect of playing in the Premier League, the move could prove tempting.
With the transfer window heating up, Rodrygo’s future could become one of the summer’s most talked-about storylines.
