Manchester City eye ambitious £70m Real Madrid swoop

Manchester City aren’t done winning and if they manage to pull off this Real Madrid swoop, premier league rivals should possibly surrender the league to them.

According to new reports, the premier league bullies’ late summer transfer activity has taken an unexpected turn as they are preparing a bold £70 million bid for Real Madrid’s rising star, Rodrygo Goes. The Brazilian forward, long admired by Pep Guardiola, has caught City’s eye amidst growing uncertainty over his role at the Bernabéu following Kylian Mbappé’s high-profile arrival.

Despite Real Madrid’s insistence that the 23-year-old is central to their plans, the looming competition for minutes could see Rodrygo’s game time diminish—a factor that Manchester City are keen to exploit. With Julian Alvarez’s shock move to Atletico Madrid and recent injuries to key players like Oscar Bobb and Savinho, Guardiola is in urgent need of fresh attacking options. Rodrygo, with his blend of flair and versatility, perfectly fits the bill.

City’s interest has been persistent, but convincing Los Blancos to part with one of their prized assets won’t be easy. While Real Madrid publicly maintain that Rodrygo is not for sale, an offer in the range of £70-80 million could force them to reconsider. However, with time running out in the transfer window, both clubs face a race against the clock.

Can Guardiola pull off one of the most stunning signings of the summer, or will Rodrygo remain in Madrid, battling for his place in a star-studded squad?
