Manchester City are ready to table a bid of up to €150 million in an attempt to sign Rodrygo Goes next summer, with negotiations set to be tricky.
According to Fichajes, Manchester City are keen on Rodrygo Goes and would table an offer of around €150 million. The Brazilian attacker is a vital part of Real Madrid’s setup, which would make any negotiation for his transfer more than tricky.
Manchester City could continue adding some of the best players to their setup next summer, as there are some things to decide in the background. For starters, they are still sweating on Pep Guardiola’s future, while there are rumours of a possible departure for Erling Haaland alongside Kevin De Bruyne.
Irrespective of what transpires with the future of the trio, Manchester City remain committed to adding some of the top talents in the market, and that would explain their persistent links with Rodrygo Goes. Manchester City decided against making an approach for the Brazilian in the summer, as they had already secured Savinho from Troyes.
However, should they lose a player or two next summer, a move for the Brazilian star is very much a possibility. Manchester City are reportedly willing to fork out €150 million to sign the Real Madrid star, although negotiations are not expected to be straightforward.
Some stories indicate that Real Madrid might sanction Rodryo’s sale for the right conditions, in which case many more clubs will make their presence felt in the race. Liverpool is one of those keen, as the Merseysiders view Rodrygo as one of the potential Mohamed Salah replacement options.
Real Madrid unlikely to sell Rodrygo
On paper, Real Madrid have absolutely no need to offload Rodrygo for whatever price, as he is one of their key starters. The Brazilian has been essential to Carlo Ancelotti and provides a different dimension to their attacking side of the game.
Hence, any negotiations with Real Madrid would prove highly tricky to Manchester City when it comes to the attacker. Even if the English side ends up convincing Florentino Perez to sell the Brazilian, the outcome will end up in increased demands for the attacker, which will surely test Manchester City’s resolve in this chase.
