Manchester City mulls over Rodrigo as potential replacement for departing Grish.
Manchester City is reportedly interested in signing Real Madrid winger Rodrigo ahead of the 2025/26 season, according to various sources. However, as of mid-August 2025, no official offer has been made by City.
Rodrigo's Contract and Real Madrid's Demand
Rodrigo's contract with Real Madrid runs until 2028, giving Madrid a strong negotiating position. Real Madrid values Rodrigo at €100 million (£78 million), a significant fee that City would need to finance by selling players like McAtee or Savinho.
City's Stance and Negotiation Status
Manchester City's interest in Rodrigo has been linked to the possible departure of Savinho, but after deciding to keep Savinho, the Rodrigo signing appears off the table for now. The talks involve City assessing Rodrigo’s situation and interest, including his family and agents, while Real Madrid looks to get their asking price. As of August 20, 2025, the Rodrygo transfer is not imminent, but the situation could evolve if City reconsider or if Savinho leaves.
Rodrigo's Achievements and Trophy Cabinet
In six years at Real Madrid, Rodrigo has played 270 matches, scored 68 goals, and made 51 assists. Rodrigo's trophy cabinet includes two Champions League titles, three La Liga titles, the UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup, and other tournament victories.
Potential Departure from Real Madrid
Rodrigo's potential departure from Real Madrid is not prevented by the club, according to a reliable source. This news comes after Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur had shown interest in Rodrigo, but talks never reached a serious level.
Manchester City's Priorities
The club considers Rodrigo their top priority following the departure of Jack Grealish, and potential sales of James McCarthy and Savinho. If a deal can be reached, it could mark a new chapter in the Premier League under Pep Guardiola for Rodrigo.
In summary, while no official offer has been made, Manchester City is considering a potential signing of Rodrigo from Real Madrid. The transfer fee demand by Real Madrid is approximately €100 million (£78 million), and Rodrigo’s contract at Real Madrid runs until 2028. The negotiations are ongoing, but as of August 20, 2025, the Rodrygo transfer is not imminent.
