Manchester City Considers €100M Rodrygo Transfer Amid Attacking Departures

Manchester City are actively considering a high-profile transfer for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo as they prepare for several attacking departures, including Jack Grealish's loan to Everton and potential exits for Savinho and James McAtee. City manager Pep Guardiola views Rodrygo as a key target to strengthen their attack, with the Brazilian forward reportedly open to leaving Madrid due to limited playing time amid fierce competition. Real Madrid has set an asking price of around €100 million but might consider a discount if Rodrygo pushes for a move. Liverpool remain favorites to sign Rodrygo, but City's recent interest, coupled with talks around other potential deals, has shortened the odds of the transfer to Manchester City. Rodrygo, who prefers playing on the left wing, could provide a significant boost to City's title ambitions as Guardiola aims to continue his record of consecutive domestic triumphs. The transfer window's closing weeks will be crucial in determining whether City can secure the Brazilian star amid competition from other top clubs.
