Manchester City tried to sign one of Real Madrid’s stars next summer, but this player refused to leave Santiago Bernabeu despite his doubts about his future there.
This was confirmed by the “Relevo” network, which revealed that Pep Guardiola wanted to include Rodrigo in the City ranks, but the Brazilian’s ambition to write glories with Real Madrid made him refuse immediately.
Rodrigo is one of Guardiola’s favorite players in the current generation, and he did not hide his admiration for him more than once, and therefore he saw him as the missing piece in City’s attack, especially after the departure of Julian Alvarez.
Because of Guardiola’s desire and City’s great appreciation for the player’s talent, the English club sent a large financial offer, even exceeding what the Brazilian receives with Real, hoping to sign him.
But Rodrigo’s response was clear that his permanent goal is to succeed with Real Madrid and write history with the royal club, even if some anxiety crept into him after signing Kylian Mbappe and expectations of a decline in his role.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s management itself was not willing to negotiate over the 23-year-old, and Florentino Perez still considers him an untouchable asset. Despite a poor start to the season, Rodrygo has recovered much of his form, contributing in the last 5 matches to 5 goals, scoring 3 and creating 2 others.
