Pep Guardiola keen to sign Real Madrid star with three La Liga goals this season | OneFootball

The future of Rodrygo at Real Madrid is uncertain amid strong transfer interest from Manchester City.

The 23-year-old has emerged as a target for Pep Guardiola, who continues to build one of the deepest and talent-littered squads in world football.

Although City have multiple wingers among their options, including £100 million Jack Grealish, the wide-forward position appears to be an area Guardiola has identified as one in need of reinforcing.

Following the arrival of Kylian Mbappe in the summer, the Brazilian’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu has been speculated.

Struggling to fit all his best attacking players into his starting XI, Carlo Ancelotti has been criticised in recent times for his failure to get the best out of his stars, including Rodrygo, who has managed just three La Liga goals in 10 games so far this season.

And with Vini Jr also considering rejecting signing a new contract, Los Blancos, who are linked with a stunning £169 million (€200 million) offer for Man City’s Erling Haaland, could be on the verge of rebuilding their attack.

During his time in the Spanish capital, Rodrygo, who arrived from Santos in 2019, has scored 57 goals and registered 43 assists in 229 games in all competitions.
