Real Madrid have reportedly placed a staggering €80M
price tag on Brazilian winger Rodrygo Goes.
While Los Blancos consider him a key part of their long-term project, the valuation is seen as a signal to potential suitors that it would take a massive offer to tempt them into negotiations.
Manchester City are keeping a particularly close eye on the situation.
Pep Guardiola is said to admire Rodrygo’s versatility, dribbling, and ability to perform in big moments. However, City’s move is believed to be linked to the potential departure of Savinho, who could be on the move next year after his breakthrough rise.
That said, any deal for Rodrygo would be extremely complicated not only because of his importance to Real Madrid, but also due to competition from other European giants who would certainly enter the race if he were ever available.
The big question now: Will City seriously push for Rodrygo if Savinho leaves, or will Real Madrid stand firm and block any approach?
