Before the start of the Premier League, Manchester City are keen on a move for Rodrygo. The Real Madrid winger looked for a suitable club throughout the summer, but he wasn’t keen on a move to Tottenham Hotspur, who were once reported to be interested. After no club of his choice approached, the youngster started training for the new season, and that’s when the news broke of City’s interest.
During the Club World Cup, the Brazilian warmed the bench for the majority of the time, which indicates that he might have a limited role under new head coach Xabi Alonso. That triggered Rodrygo to look for a club in the summer.
City’s interest, on the other hand, is extremely strong as their wingers Jack Grealish and Savinho are set to leave the club this summer. The prior is set to join Everton on a season-long loan, with a buy option, while Savinho are in talks with Spurs, who are looking for a replacement for Heung-Min Son.
As per early reports, Real Madrid have left the decision to Rodrygo on whether he will continue to be a part of the squad or start a new chapter in his career. However, the Spanish giants have asked for a fee of around €100 millon as his transfer fee.
Notably, the 24-year-old has played a vital role for the Los Blancos in the past few seasons, including netting the iconic brace against City in the 2021-22 season of the UEFA Champions League. Madrid eventually went on to win the title that season, beating Liverpool in the summit clash. Meanwhile,
Will Rodrygo leave Real Madrid?
Rodrygo might end up leaving Real Madrid after spending six years at the club. Under Alonso, Vinicius and Kylian Mbappe have the priority, with Gonzalo playing at number 9. They have back-up wingers in Arda Guler and Brahim Diaz available and Endrick can replace Gonzalo whenever required. Madrid, in the meantime, can use the money to sign a defensive midfielder.
