Manchester City are seriously considering a move for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo as the summer transfer window enters its final stretch. Internal discussions are ongoing, with City gathering information on the potential cost of the deal. Real Madrid are understood to value the Brazilian at around €100 million.

While Rodrygo is happy at Madrid and keen to continue at the Santiago Bernabéu, he has not completely ruled out the possibility of a move to the Etihad. Sources suggest that if Manchester City make a strong and convincing approach, the player could be tempted.

City’s interest comes amid several outgoing transfers. Jack Grealish’s loan to Everton is complete, with the England international expected to wear the number 18 shirt. James McAtee is also set to join Nottingham Forest in the coming hours. These departures have left Pep Guardiola eager to bring in a high-profile attacking addition before the window closes, with Rodrygo emerging as the top target.

Guardiola is said to be a long-time admirer of the 23-year-old, whose pace, versatility, and technical ability would fit seamlessly into City’s attacking system. However, any deal would require City to finalise their outgoing moves, reach an agreement with Real Madrid, and secure Rodrygo’s approval.

As it stands, the situation remains fluid, but with Guardiola pushing and City well aware of Rodrygo’s openness to a potential switch, this could become one of the biggest transfer stories of the final days of the summer window.
