Manchester City consider “complicated” dream signing of Real Madrid star to replace Julian Alvarez | OneFootball

Atletico Madrid are set to complete the signing of Julian Alvarez, in what would be a massive signing. It would also be a club-record sale for Manchester City, who have already started to search for the Argentine’s replacement.

Marca have reported that Man City have established three targets. Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze is top of the list at this stage, although their dream signing is Rodrygo Goes.

Man City are aware that Rodrygo would be a very “complicated” signing, given the importance that he holds at Real Madrid. However, the addition of Kylian Mbappe to Carlo Ancelotti’s squad is seen as a crack that they can exploit over the remainder of the summer- agreeing personal terms is seen as the biggest obstacle.

Real Madrid would also demand a large fee, but considering the resources that Man City have, it’s unlikely that Rodrygo would be completely out of their range. In truth, it may not be the worst idea for Los Blancos to sell, as they already have Arda Guler and Brahim Diaz as ready-made replacements.
