Manchester City Overtakes Liverpool In Race For Real Madrid Star After Secret Meeting

‎The Manchester City squad is expected to undergo a major overhaul during the summer transfer window following a disappointing season.

‎City were unable to defend their Premier League title and were eliminated from both the Champions League and League Cup in the early rounds.

‎They could still finish the season by winning a trophy as they are still competing in the FA Cup.

‎However, considering the quality they have, it would be a poor return from Pep Guardiola’s team.

‎It has been reported that Man City is also considering signing a new goalkeeper in the summer to replace Ederson.

‎The Sky Blues have been linked with a move for a Real Madrid superstar after holding a meeting with his father.

‎According to Eduardo Inda on El Chiringuito, the Premier League giants have met with Rodrygo’s father to persuade the Brazilian to join the Etihad Stadium this summer.

‎While the Brazilian winger has had a strong season, he has not been able to play in his preferred position.

‎He likes to play on the left wing but it has become more difficult for him to find a place in the side after the signing of Kylian Mbappe.

‎Vinicius Junior has occupied the left-wing position while Mbappe has played as a striker.

‎Man City have presented their proposal to Rodrygo

‎Rodrygo has been deployed on the right wing, a position where he is not the most comfortable.

‎The father of the Brazilian player and his camp has denied reports of any meeting between the two parties.

‎However, a source claims that a discussion took place two or three weeks ago, during which the City presented its proposal. Rodrygo has long been linked with a transfer to Liverpool.

‎Despite this, Inda reports that City is now making a move for the Brazilian international.

‎”They tell me that the father of Rodrygo Goes,” began Inda.

‎”The entourage denies it, but they tell me that he’s gone to talk. He saw people from Manchester City a few weeks ago, and they insisted that he go play with Pep Guardiola.

‎”They offer him to play on the left flank, which is what the kid and the father want.”

‎Inda also said, “Real Madrid cannot guarantee this playing chance because it is for Vinicius and Mbappe.

‎”At City, they would offer to play him in this position and give him more money.”

‎Rodrygo’s deal with Real Madrid runs to 2028.

‎The Premier League side has offered a pay rise to the Brazilian and also given him the assurance that he will be played in the left-wing position.

‎It remains uncertain whether Rodrygo will seek a move away from Real Madrid, but this situation only raises further questions about his future in Spain.

‎Meanwhile, Guardiola’s side is monitoring Crystal Palace midfielder, Adam Wharton as he prepares for significant changes at the club.
