Manchester City are reportedly preparing a £70 million offer for Real Madrid’s forward Rodrygo Goes.
According to Football Insider, the Brazilian has been on City’s radar throughout the summer. His future at Real Madrid has come into question following the arrival of Kylian Mbappé this summer.
Although Real Madrid views Rodrygo as a key part of their plans, there are concerns he may struggle for playing time as the season progresses. Both Manchester City and Liverpool have been monitoring the 23-year-old with keen interest.
Rodrygo has publicly expressed his commitment to the club, but he may have internal concerns about his role on the team. Manchester City is poised to capitalize on this uncertainty.
Pep Guardiola’s squad has already been weakened by Julián Álvarez’s transfer to Atlético Madrid earlier this summer. Additionally, City’s attacking options have been further depleted due to Oscar Bobb’s leg injury and Savinho picking up a knock against Chelsea.
Now, the Premier League champions have turned their attention to Rodrygo, who Guardiola greatly admires. While Real Madrid has stated that the player is not for sale, they might be tempted by an offer in the range of £70-80 million. However, securing a deal seems unlikely at this late stage of the transfer window.
