Man City Chase Dream Signing of €100M-Rated Tottenham Target Linked to Liverpool, PSG
City Set Sights on €100M-Rated Real Star Amid Transfer Frenzy
Manchester City are reportedly eyeing a move for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo, potentially adding another piece to their already stacked squad as the transfer window winds down.
Rodrygo in Demand
Amidst ongoing speculation about his future at Real Madrid, Rodrygo has become a hot commodity this summer. Liverpool and PSG have both been linked with the Brazilian star, but it's Manchester City who appear to be leading the charge.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that City see Rodrygo as a "dream target" for Pep Guardiola, with the manager a big fan of the young forward. Real Madrid are open to selling if Rodrygo expresses a desire to leave, setting an asking price around €100 million.
City's Summer Shakeup
The potential move comes as City prepare for several departures. Jack Grealish has already left the club, with James McAtee and Savinho likely to follow suit.
"Manchester City are considering a move for Rodrygo after imminent exits," Romano tweeted on Monday. "Grealish gone, McAtee and Savinho can leave… and #MCFC see Rodrygo as dream target, Guardiola big fan. Real Madrid will let him leave if player wants - asking around €100m."
Other Contenders in the Race
While Manchester City appear to be leading the race, other Premier League clubs are also keeping a close eye on Rodrygo's situation.
According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool are closely tracking his progress and view him as a prime alternative if their pursuit of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak falls through. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur have entered the fray, reportedly identifying Rodrygo as a potential replacement for Son Heung-min, who recently joined an MLS club.
Tottenham have already contacted Rodrygo's representatives to gauge his interest.
The coming weeks will be crucial in determining where Rodrygo's future lies. The Premier League seems set on landing the talented Real Madrid forward, but whether any club can convince him to depart Spain remains to be seen.
