"Real Madrid winger Rodrygo was a hot topic throughout the summer transfer window, and talk hasn't died down after a tough start to the season. He has started just two of Los Blancos' nine La Liga outings so far, with the emergence of teenager Franco Mastantuono adding to the Brazilian's woes, already having been forced to the right wing to accommodate Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe."
"Manchester City were chief among those interested parties during the window, with the suggestion being that Pep Guardiola was a big fan of Rodrygo, ranked at no.6 in FourFourTwo's list of the best right wingers in the world right now. There was uncertainty at that time around the future of Savinho at the Etihad Stadium, and it was felt that any money collected from that deal could go towards an 80m approach for Rodrygo, according to Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo."
Rodrygo has struggled for influence at Real Madrid, starting just two of nine La Liga matches after a difficult season start. The emergence of teenager Franco Mastantuono has increased pressure, and Rodrygo has been moved to the right wing to accommodate Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe. Several Premier League clubs are tracking the 24-year-old amid his reduced prominence, with Manchester City among previously interested parties and Pep Guardiola reportedly a fan. Financial considerations around other transfers were linked to a potential bid, and Los Blancos' plan may include a 2026 departure for Rodrygo.
