Guardiola sets sights on Madrid's Rodrygo amid City squad shake-up

With Jack Grealish's departure almost confirmed and James McAtee and Savinho potentially set to leave, Manchester City view Rodrygo as a dream signing, with Pep Guardiola a known admirer of the Brazilian.

Real Madrid appear willing to sanction the sale should the player express a desire to move on, with the asking price believed to be around €100 million. This valuation reflects the 24-year-old's status as one of Europe's most promising attacking talents.

City's interest in him fits their strategy to refresh their forward line following the imminent exits. Guardiola's faith in the winger's quality and versatility makes him a natural target to bolster their attacking options.

As negotiations loom, the transfer saga is set to be one of the summer's most high-profile stories. Should City succeed, Rodrygo would represent a marquee signing capable of making an immediate impact in the Premier League.
