Manchester City considering move for Rodrygo | OneFootball

Manchester City are seriously considering a move for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Premier League champions view Rodrygo as a key target to bolster their attacking options as they prepare for some departures at the top end of the pitch.

City have agreed a deal with Everton to send Jack Grealish on loan to Merseyside and are in talks with Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest over deals for Savinho and James McAtee respectively.

A move for Rodrygo is now being discussed at the Etihad Stadium as he has reached a crossroads regarding his Madrid career.

Rodrygo may be open to leaving the Santiago Bernabeu as he seeks more playing time, something he is not getting consistently at Madrid due to the fierce competition for places in attack.

Madrid are prepared to let Rodrygo leave and have set an asking price of around €100 million to part ways with him. He has three years left on his current deal.

He has also been linked with a move to Arsenal and Liverpool this summer.

Rodrygo is capable of playing on both wings but prefers to be deployed on the left. His arrival would be a statement signing from City.

City manager Pep Guardiola has never gone consecutive years without a domestic title and is keen on keeping it that way.

After drawing the curtain on their pre-season campaign with a 3-0 victory over Palermo on Saturday, City kick off their quest for Premier League glory against Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend.
