At Manchester City, actions have become even more active on the eve of the summer transfer window closing. Josep Guardiola, who has entered the season with high ambitions, intends to form the team’s squad more efficiently by selling some players from the starting lineup. His main goal is to reduce the number of players who might remain on the bench, thereby optimizing the playing system.
In discussions with the club’s management, Guardiola emphasized the need to streamline the squad. In recent days, officials have been actively negotiating the outgoing transfers of attacking players such as Jack Grealish, James McAtee, and Savio. This, in turn, could open new opportunities within the team.
Interestingly, Guardiola plans to fill their place with Rodrygo Goes, who is expected to leave Real Madrid. Interest in the Brazilian footballer is not a matter of just one or two years — insider Fabrizio Romano reported that Guardiola has been following Rodrygo with great enthusiasm for quite some time. If the player himself is ready for such a move, there are all the chances for this transfer to happen.
The Madrid club, showing Rodrygo less and less in the starting lineup, intends to take advantage before his transfer value drops. According to sources, Real is ready to sell the forward for around 100 million euros. This figure is high in today’s football market, but considering the player’s potential, it is not unfounded at all.
The 24-year-old versatile forward played a very important role for his team last season — he took part in 54 matches in all competitions, scored 14 goals, and provided 11 assists. Moreover, his current contract with the club runs until the summer of 2028. According to Transfermarkt, Rodrygo’s market value is 90 million euros.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the realization of this potential deal. If this transfer becomes a reality, a new and bright chapter may open in Manchester City’s attacking line.
