Real Madrid have received a €150m offer from Manchester City for Star player, with the Brazilian the club’s top transfer target. The 15-time Champions League winners don’t want to sell, though
Man City are reportedly interested in Real Madrid star Rodrygo
Manchester City are reportedly ready to launch a huge bid for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo as they look to bolster their attacking additions in January.
The Brazilian international has been heavily linked with moves away from the Bernabeu in recent months and Man City have been named as one of his suitors.
As previously reported, Liverpool and Arsenal are also keeping tabs on Rodrygo’s situation so there the speculation surrounding him has clearly caught the attention of several clubs.
According to Fichajes, Man City are set to submit a bid of €150m (£126.2m / $163.2m) for Rodrygo, which, if accepted, would make him the most expensive signing in Premier League history.
The report claims that Rodrygo has become one of Pep Guardiola’s top targets amid the uncertainty surrounding Erling Haaland, who is a target for Real Madrid and others.
Rodrygo, 23, can play as a winger on either flank or as a centre-forward and has scored 57 goals and made 43 assists in 229 appearances for Madrid so far.
However, negotiations ‘will not be easy’ for Man City as Madrid view Rodrygo as a vital player for the present and future and may not entertain his sale for any price.
Man City keen to sign new winger – sources
Sources have revealed to TEAMtalk that Man City are keen to strengthen in wide areas despite already having the likes of Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku, Phil Foden and Savinho in their ranks.
Sources suggest that the Cityzens are looking to LaLiga for winger targets but Barcelona star Raphinha is the man at the top of their shortlist as things stand.
The former Leeds United man has been on fire for the Catalans this season, netting 10 goals and making nine assists in 14 appearances so far this season.
Barcelona view Raphinha as a vital player but could be forced into selling him if a big fee is made next year due to their ongoing financial struggles.
As for Rodrygo, he has been linked with moves to the Premier League before but he is under contract until 2028 and has shown no desire to leave the Bernabeu to date.
“I still have a contract,” Rodrygo said over the summer. “When I say it was a pleasure to be here all these years, I don’t say it because I’m leaving but because it has been a pleasure for me.
“It’s still a dream, I have a contract, and I’m sure I’ll stay.”
