Manchester City is stirring up some serious excitement in the transfer market this summer- Rodrygo, and it’s hard not to get caught up in the buzz!
The club has set its sights on Real Madrid’s electric winger, Rodrygo, and it’s not just casual interest—they’re diving in headfirst.
City has already reached out to get a feel for what Rodrygo, his family, and his agents are thinking, while also gauging Real Madrid’s position.
It’s the kind of move that gets fans dreaming about what could be.
But the plot thickens at the Etihad. There’s chatter about other players possibly packing their bags, which could shake things up.
Tottenham Hotspur has come knocking for Savinho, and Pep Guardiola seems open to letting him go—especially since Savinho himself is eager for the move.
Meanwhile, whispers suggest Jack Grealish might be headed to Everton, and young star James McAtee could also be on his way out. If all three leave, City’s wings could start looking a bit bare, and that’s a problem Pep will want to fix fast.
Sure, City brought in Rayan Cherki earlier this window, but he’s more of a creative spark in midfield.
He could play out wide, but let’s be real—Pep loves specialists for those wide roles.
Jeremy Doku and Oscar Bobb are natural wingers, but Bobb’s still finding his feet in the Premier League.
Even with versatile stars like Phil Foden, Cherki, and Bernardo Silva who can shift out wide, it’s easy to see why City might go all-in for a blockbuster winger signing. And Rodrygo? He’s got “marquee” written all over him.
Here’s where it gets juicy: Manchester City isn’t the only club with stars in their eyes for Rodrygo.
Arsenal is reportedly dreaming of landing the Brazilian sensation this summer, too.
But signing him won’t come cheap. Rodrygo’s said to be asking for a cool £250,000-a-week, and Real Madrid is holding firm with a price tag of around £87 million (roughly €100 million).
City’s hoping to haggle that down a bit, but with competition heating up, they’ll need to move fast.
It’s shaping up to be a transfer saga that’ll keep us all glued to our screens!
