Manchester City has had a quiet summer transfer window so far, with only one new signing. In July, they brought in Savinho from Troyes on a five-year deal. The 20-year-old Brazilian winger impressed last season during his loan at Girona, where he scored nine goals and provided 10 assists in 37 La Liga matches. Now, he’s preparing for his first Premier League season under Pep Guardiola.
There has been some interesting news about another Brazilian winger that City might be eyeing. Reports suggested that Manchester City has an interest in Real Madrid’s Rodrygo. The Spanish club values him at €120 million (£102 million), according to Marca and Mundo Deportivo.
Recently, Football Transfers provided an update on the situation. They confirmed that Manchester City has had talks with Rodrygo. The 23-year-old is highly admired by City’s management. Rodrygo’s representatives have made it clear that he is happy at Real Madrid. While a move this summer seems unlikely, the Brazilian winger might be open to a future transfer to the Etihad Stadium.
Rodrygo joined Real Madrid in 2019 from Santos and has since made 217 appearances for the Spanish giants. During his time with the club, he has scored 54 goals and provided 41 assists. He has also helped Real Madrid win several domestic and European trophies.
Interestingly, back in June, former Manchester City star Sergio Aguero made headlines when he suggested that Rodrygo might be a better attacker than Julian Alvarez, who left City to join Atletico Madrid for £81 million. Aguero’s comments added fuel to the speculation surrounding Rodrygo’s potential move to Manchester City.
While a transfer this summer seems unlikely, there’s no doubt that Rodrygo could significantly boost City’s attacking options if he ever decides to join the Premier League champions in the future. For now, Manchester City fans will have to wait and see if their club makes any more moves in the transfer market before the window closes.
