Manchester City continues to retain an interest in Rodrygo Goes, and could make a move in January if the player seeks an exit.
According to Fichajes, Manchester City are still on the trail of Rodrygo Goes, and will continue to keep close tabs on the attacker’s situation. Real Madrid would be willing to sell the winger should he ask to leave the club, and Pep Guardiola’s side could keep themselves informed on the situation.
The Rodrygo Goes saga during the summer was a bit strange, given that most quarters suggested he could leave for a new challenge. Indeed, many stories pointed to Real Madrid selling him, given how Xabi Alonso had limited his time on the pitch, as he preferred others over starting the Brazilian.
Despite links to numerous top clubs, mostly from the Premier League, Rodrygo ended up staying at Real Madrid. One key factor echoing from throughout the summer, as well as now, indicates the Spanish giants will only sell if the winger asks to leave.
Manchester City were interested in Rodrygo Goes as a replacement for Savinho, and while the latter did not leave, the Premier League giants never made an offer for the Real Madrid star. It appears that, should a club come in with an offer of €80 million or more, even in January, there is a fair chance for Rodrygo to depart, which will again depend on his request to the club rather than the other way around.
Manchester City will probably gauge their squad’s performances between now and January, before considering approaching the €80 million-rated Real Madrid star. Tottenham are expected to return for Savinho in the winter window, which might potentially force Manchester City into accelerating their pursuit of Rodrygo.
Manchester City will face competition for Rodrygo
Manchester City are certainly interested in Rodrygo, and if an opportunity arises to get the Brazilian, they will approach. Arsenal are also alert to the winger’s situation, as their summer window probably lacked an out-and-out left-winger, even though they signed Eberechi Eze.
Liverpool were also keen on Rodrygo, meaning that should Manchester City make a move, it could open the doors for rivals to make their presence felt. As for the winger himself, he could leave Real Madrid in January if his situation does not improve under Alonso, especially considering a World Cup is on the horizon and Rodrygo will not want to risk being excluded by Carlo Ancelotti for the grand tournament next year.
