Manchester City are on the verge of securing the signing of Real Madrid winger Rodrygo as they prepare for possible attacking departures. City’s interest has intensified following reported moves involving Jack Grealish, Savinho, and James McAtee, which could leave gaps in their forward options.

According to sources, Manchester City plan to offer Real Madrid an initial €80 million with an additional €20 million in potential add-ons for Rodrygo. This offer aligns with Real Madrid’s minimum acceptable fee, which has been reported to be around €80 million as a fixed amount, although the asking price has been noted as near €100 million. Negotiations seem forthcoming if Tottenham Hotspur finalizes a deal for Savinho, as City’s pursuit of Rodrygo depends on securing departures to free up funds and squad space.

Rodrygo himself is known to be attached to Real Madrid and has expressed a desire to stay and compete for his place under coach Xabi Alonso, despite limited playing time recently. However, uncertainty remains as the forward continues to weigh his options amid interest from several Premier League clubs, with Manchester City considered his most ambitious suitor.

Meanwhile, other clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, and Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr have also shown interest, though Rodrygo prefers to remain in Europe. Agent Pini Zahavi is reportedly involved in the transfer discussions, which could facilitate talks between Manchester City and Real Madrid.

Commentators and analysts have noted that Rodrygo could become a key player for Manchester City, potentially stepping into a more prominent role than he has at Real Madrid, where he has often been viewed as a replacement rather than a mainstay. Manchester City’s interest marks a significant step towards a blockbuster transfer that may reshape their attacking line-up as the summer transfer window nears its close.
