Manchester City is assessing whether to bid for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes as manager Pep Guardiola reshapes his attacking options. People familiar with the situation say the Premier League champions have sanctioned or are close to sanctioning the sales of Jack Grealish, James McAtee and Savinho for a combined sum of roughly £120 million, creating both squad space and funds for a marquee addition. Real Madrid would be prepared to let the 24-year-old leave if he requests a transfer and if an offer in the region of €100 million materialises, according to multiple reports. Rodrygo’s standing at Madrid has waned under head coach Xabi Alonso, yet he remains under contract at the Bernabéu until 2028. While no formal talks have begun between the clubs, City’s interest adds to competition from Arsenal and Liverpool, both of which have tracked the Brazilian during the summer window. A move to the Etihad Stadium would keep Rodrygo in the Champions League and the Premier League title race, a prospect seen as attractive by the player’s camp.
