Man City prepare record bid for Real Madrid superstar amid Erling Haaland uncertainty

Manchester City are reportedly ready to launch a huge bid for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo as they look to bolster their attacking additions in January.

The Brazil international has been heavily linked with a move away from the Bernabeu in recent months and Man City have been named as one of his suitors.

As stated previously, Liverpool and Arsenal are also monitoring Rodrygo’s situation so there, the speculation around him clearly caught the attention of several clubs.

According to SheetsMan City are expected to submit a €150 million bid for Rodrygo, which if accepted would make him the most expensive signing in Premier League history.

The report claims that Rodrygo has become one of Pep Guardiola’s top targets amid uncertainty surrounding Erling Haaland, who is a target of Real Madrid and others.

Rodrygo23 years old, can play as a winger on either flank or as a center forward and has scored 57 goals and made 43 assists in 229 appearances for Madrid so far.

However, negotiations “won’t be easy” for Man City as Madrid view Rodrygo as a vital player for the present and future and may not consider selling him for any price.

Man City keen to sign new winger – sources

Sources revealed to TEAMtalk that Man City are keen to strengthen in wide areas although they already have Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku, Phil Foden and Savinho in their ranks.

Sources suggest Cityzens are looking to La Liga for winger targets, but Barcelona star Raphinha is the man at the top of their shortlist as things stand.

The former Leeds United player has been on fire for the Catalans this season, scoring 10 goals and making nine assists in 14 appearances so far this season.

Barcelona view Raphinha as a vital player but could be forced to sell him if a large fee is paid next year due to his ongoing financial difficulties.

As for Rodrygo, he has been linked with moves to the Premier League before, but he is under contract until 2028 and has shown no desire to leave the Bernabeu to date.

“I still have a contract,” Rodrygo said this summer. “When I say it’s been a pleasure to be here all these years, I don’t say it because I’m leaving but because it’s been a pleasure for me.

“It’s still a dream, I have a contract and I’m sure I’ll stay.”

Man City eyes two Bundesliga superstars

Sources have revealed to TEAMtalk that in addition to a new winger, Man City are looking to sign a new attacking midfielder to replace club icon Kevin De Bruyne.

The 33-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and is unlikely to extend, with a free transfer to the Saudi Pro League or MLS in the offing.

We understand that Man City have identified Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz and Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala as key transfer targets in preparation for De Bruyne’s exit.

The Bundesliga duo are considered two of the most exciting young prospects in the world and have a number of big clubs looking for their signatures.

However, signing the duo won’t be simple, as it will take over £100 million to lure them away from their respective clubs.

We believe Man City’s pursuit of Wirtz and Musiala makes it unlikely they will spend €150m (£126.2m/$163.2m) on Rodrygo next summer, as Files’ the report suggests.
