The current champion of England, Manchester City, continues its plans to strengthen the squad. Josep Guardiola is planning to acquire Real Madrid winger Rodrigo Goes as a new candidate for the attack line.
City is trying to convince Rodrigo
According to Spain's El Chiringuito publication, Manchester City officials held a personal meeting with Rodrigo a few weeks ago. The source emphasizes that the "Citizens" have made serious efforts to convince the player to move to the Premier League.
Manchester City wants to attract Rodrigo under the following conditions:
? A salary higher than his current one at Real.
? A more comfortable position – the opportunity to play as a left-wing attacker.
? The chance to work with Guardiola and join City's successful project.
Rodrigo's situation at Real
The Brazilian forward is currently considered one of the key players for the Madrid team. His contract with the club is valid until 2028. The 23-year-old player has scored several important goals this season, and Carlo Ancelotti has emphasized several times that he is satisfied with his performance.
Will Real sell Rodrigo?
Any club wishing to acquire Rodrigo will need to offer at least 100 million euros. Real does not want this amount to decrease, as Rodrigo is an important part of the current squad.
Is Rodrigo an ideal candidate for Guardiola?
Josep Guardiola enjoys working with versatile, technically strong, and fast players. Rodrigo is exactly that type of player:
- Can operate on both the left and right flanks;
- Quick and technically skilled;
- High decision-making ability in big games.
If City manages to acquire Rodrigo, it could further strengthen the team's attack line. However, it is highly likely that Real does not want to sell such an important player.
Whether this transfer will happen soon or not remains to be seen. However, Guardiola's plan to acquire Rodrigo is serious, and further promotional efforts may continue.
