Overview

• Guillem Balagué and other reports say Manchester City will retain 21-year-old Savinho, ending a pathway they had considered for Rodrygo.
• City’s interest in the Real Madrid forward was contingent on outgoings, and no offer materialized once those departures stalled.
• Reporting places Real Madrid’s valuation for Rodrygo between €80m and €100m, which continues to shape the market.
• Arsenal have been linked and previously held talks, but briefings suggest they prefer a left-footed or natural left winger and would likely need sales first.
• Liverpool are reported to view Rodrygo as a backup option, with interest described as dependent on other targets such as Alexander Isak.
