“I don’t want to Play for Xabi Alonso, i have not been given time to show my talent”-A Real Madrid winger is reportedly interested in a move to Manchester City
Manchester City has been linked with a potential move for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, who would undoubtedly bring quality to the team’s wide options. However, his potential arrival poses a significant question: where would he fit in Pep Guardiola’s already star-studded squad?
*Competition for Playing Time*
With talented players like Jeremy Doku and Omar Marmoush on the left wing, and Phil Foden, Oscar Bobb, and Rayan Cherki on the right, Rodrygo would face stiff competition for a starting spot. Given his pedigree, it’s unlikely he’d be content with a squad player role, which raises doubts about his potential fit at the Etihad.
*Guardiola’s Admiration and Rodrygo’s Interest*
According to reports, Pep Guardiola admires Rodrygo, and the player himself has expressed interest in joining Manchester City. However, Real Madrid’s asking price of at least €90 million would be a significant hurdle. Arsenal is also reportedly interested in signing the Brazilian international.
*Squad Dynamics and Transfer Feasibility*
The Manchester City squad is currently well-stocked with wingers, and Rodrygo’s arrival would likely require another player to depart. While Jack Grealish’s potential exit might create a spot, it’s uncertain whether City would pursue Rodrygo given the significant transfer fee and potential disruption to the squad’s dynamics [1].
