Manchester City is planning to make a star signing before the transfer market closes.

The English team, led by Pep Guardiola, has set its sights on Rodrygo, the winger from Real Madrid, as their main target to strengthen the squad. Both the board and Pep Guardiola see the Brazilian as the ideal piece to take a further step in their offense, but the operation is not straightforward: before making a move for the Madrid attacker, the club needs to finalize the sale of Savinho.

The roadmap is clear. Manchester City wants to have Rodrygo and is willing to reach 100 million euros to convince Real Madrid. However, the expenditure will only be activated if they sell Savinho first, for whom Tottenham has already made an offer close to 60 million pounds. The citizens rejected that proposal because they value the young winger between 70 and 80 million and are not willing to let him go below that figure.

The interest in Rodrygo is not new. Guardiola has been following him for the past few years and believes that, at 24 years old and already established as one of Madrid's offensive leaders, it is the right time to attempt his signing. The Brazilian scored 24 goals last season and provided a significant number of assists, confirming that his level is already among the best forwards in Europe.

Manchester City wants to sign Rodrygo and sell Savinho to finance the operation

For Manchester City, the signing of Rodrygo has two key points. On the one hand, Guardiola would see his attack reinforced with a versatile player capable of playing on both wings and with the experience of participating in the most critical phases of the Champions League. On the other hand, the club secures the arrival of a young but proven profile that can perform at the highest level in the coming years.

The issue is that this is not just any operation. Real Madrid will not easily part with Rodrygo, whom they consider as part of their project alongside Vinícius Jr. and Mbappé. At the Bernabéu, there is no rush to sell unless a truly irresistible offer comes in. In that scenario, the 100 million City is willing to put on the table is very close to what Florentino Pérez and his board would accept to make the deal happen.

The key lies with Savinho. The 21-year-old winger has attracted interest from various clubs, but Tottenham has made the most serious offer so far. Their 60 million offer was immediately rejected by Manchester City, who believe that his market value is much higher after his first season in the Premier League, where he showed flashes of quality and a good number of assists. The City board is confident that Spurs will return with an improved offer closer to 70-80 million, a sum that would greenlight the Rodrygo operation.

Guardiola continues to press. The Catalan coach has repeatedly stressed the need to add a winger with goal-scoring ability and mobility. While Haaland remains the focal point, the idea is to have more attacking options and not solely rely on the Norwegian. Rodrygo would fit perfectly into that equation, providing imbalance, dribbling, and finishing.

The debate in England is heating up: should Manchester City risk such a significant amount of money on a player who is crucial to Real Madrid? Some believe the price is too high, while others think a player of that caliber is precisely what the club needs to take another step forward in Europe.

For Real Madrid, the situation is complex. On one hand, Rodrygo has been essential in recent seasons, and letting him go would mean losing one of their most reliable attackers. On the other hand, an offer close to 100 million would be hard to turn down, especially if the club is planning new moves in the market for the next summer.

The outcome of this story will depend on several factors: if Tottenham improves their offer for Savinho, if City decides to stretch their budget, and above all, if Real Madrid succumbs to the temptation of money in exchange for losing one of their starting forwards.

For now, one thing is certain: Pep Guardiola does not hide his desire. He wants Rodrygo as the new partner for Haaland, Foden, and Omar Marmoush. And he is willing to do everything possible to bring him to the Etihad.
