According to sources, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is ‘ready to sacrifice’ Rodri during the summer transfer window in order to bring in reinforcements from Real Madrid. The Citizens made significant investments earlier in the winter transfer window, signing Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace and Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth.
Before their 2-2 draw against Tottenham, Man City manager Pep Guardiola stated that they will not buy any players on deadline day. We’ve got enough players. Good players. “The window is crucial for the club and the players. Every weekend, I’m extremely upset because I have to leave three players at home.
“Why should we buy while this is going on?” If players depart, perhaps. “I’m pleased.” Despite interest in Strasbourg striker Joaquin Panichelli and other players, Manchester City remained quiet in the final days of the transfer window. And thoughts have already turned to the summer, with many prominent Manchester City players, including Bernardo Silva, linked with end-of-season moves.
City would be willing to listen to offers for midfielder Rodri
Another player who has been connected to a transfer away from Man City amid rumours that he would join Real Madrid is Rodri, who suffered a serious injury last season. Reports from Spain currently state that Guardiola “accepts” that the Spain international will join Real Madrid in the summer, with the manager of Man City “willing to sacrifice” Rodri.
Guardiola says the midfield player is “no longer indispensable”, and Man City is “willing to let him go. “Rodri, for his part, “would be delighted” to return to La Liga.
Real Madrid “would be willing to make a move for him”, but they aren’t prepared to pay a high price. As a result, up to two players might be traded. Guardiola and Man City “like a lot” Rodrygo, and Guardiola would be “delighted” to have the Brazil international among his choices for the upcoming campaign.
Federico Valverde, who has been linked to a transfer to Manchester United, may be a suitable substitute for Rodri, and he might even be included in the deal.
