Rodrygo wants to move to Manchester City. The Brazilian winger has made the decision to leave Real Madrid in this summer transfer window and is willing to play for Pep Guardiola's team.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City has Rodrygo as the main target to strengthen their attack following Jack Grealish's departure to Everton and the imminent sale of Savinho to Tottenham Hotspur.

Rodrygo's decision is influenced by the limited playing time he would have under Xabi Alonso, who will trust more in Franco Mastantuono on the right flank to support Vinícius and Kylian Mbappé.

🚨🔵 Manchester City are considering a move for Rodrygo after imminent exits.

Grealish gone, McAtee and Savinho can leave… and #MCFC see Rodrygo as a dream target, with Guardiola a big fan.

Real Madrid will let him leave if the player wants - asking around €100m.

Although there is no formal offer on the table yet, the player has already approved the 'Citizens' project. The next step will be direct negotiations between the clubs, with Real Madrid valuing the attacker at €100 million.

Facts supporting Rodrygo's move to Manchester City

At 24 years old, Rodrygo is coming off a standout season: 14 goals and 11 assists across all competitions.
His stats reflect not only goals but also a significant creative ability, a trait highly valued by Guardiola to complement stars like Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, and Bernardo Silva.

The Brazilian's versatility would allow City to switch systems, whether in his usual right-wing position or as a second striker, enhancing the English champions' offensive repertoire.

Rodrygo's decision is also influenced by his ambition to arrive in top form for the 2026 World Cup. Brazil's coach, Carlo Ancelotti, reportedly advised him to seek a team where he can get regular playing time, warning that his place in the starting eleven could be at risk if he doesn't accumulate the necessary minutes.

A similar situation is experienced by the young Endrick, another Brazilian talent prioritizing playing time to establish himself in the national team.

Guardiola aims for an elite attack

If the deal goes through, Rodrygo would join an elite attack featuring Haaland, Marmoush, Doku, Foden, Silva, Oscar Bobb, and the recently arrived Rayan Cherki.
With this squad, Manchester City would continue to have one of the most complete and threatening attacks in Europe.

Guardiola, who has always sought wingers capable of combining width and verticality, sees in the Brazilian an opportunity to strategically maintain the team's competitiveness across all competitions.

The outcome now depends on both clubs' ability to come to an agreement. Real Madrid seeks a lucrative sale to fund future acquisitions, while Manchester City is exploring options to finalize the deal without compromising their financial stability.

For Rodrygo, joining the Citizen's team will be a real sporting challenge as he will play in the best league in the world and, at the same time, have the opportunity to showcase his full potential in an ideal environment. His partnership with Erling Haaland could lead Manchester City to victory in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.
