Carlo Ancelotti’s team won La Liga and advanced to the Champions League final thanks to the 23-year-old Brazilian international’s outstanding 17 goals this season.
Despite Real Madrid’s success this season, Rodrygo made the controversial claim that Man City—who is reportedly vying with Liverpool for his signature—is “the best team in the world.”
Javier Tinto, a transfer journalist, maintained that Rodrygo’s “flirting” with the Cityzens has “nothing coincidental” about its timing. The Los Blancos forward is reportedly being tempted to move to Manchester City, according to recent rumours from Spain.
It’s said that Rodrygo is worried about his playing time declining next season because Kylian Mbappe is expected to sign a free transfer to Real Madrid in the coming weeks.
Mbappe, who is expected to start as a striker or left flank for Real Madrid, will undoubtedly be among the first names on the roster.
Meanwhile, Rodrygo is said to be eager to prove himself in the Premier League, and a move to the Etihad would be perfect for him.
It appears that this summer, the Brazilian would rather work with Pep Guardiola at Man City than with Arne Slot at Liverpool.
Man City is considering a potential trade for the Real Madrid star.
Man City has apparently “looked at him” in recent weeks, but they haven’t made any firm inquiries about a deal. They will, however, be closely monitoring Saturday’s Champions League final.
Guardiola’s team is considering the prospect of moving the winger to the Premier League and is “doing calculations.”
In actuality, Madrid won’t let Rodrygo leave on the cheap even if they decide to part ways with him after Mbappe’s arrival.
His Bernabeu contract is set to expire in2028, and according to rumours, Los Blancos would want to pay him between €100 million and €120 million (£85.4 million and £102.4 million).
Madrid and Rodrygo are “aware” that Man City is keeping an eye on the player, but they are delaying their transfer plans until after the Champions League final.
In other words, Ancelotti and his group are “prepared for any scenario,” which means that if the circumstances are “favourable to them,” they will sell Rodrygo “or any other club.”
Leading winger Jeremy Doku was acquired by Man City in the summer, and it appears that he will be an important member of the league-winning team for many years to come.
However, the same cannot be said for fellow winger Jack Grealish, who has lost ground at the Etihad and is rumoured to be considering leaving.
Therefore, Rodrygo might be added as a better option than the former Aston Villa player.
