Overview

• Manchester City are reported to be preparing an offer of about €100 million for Rodrygo Goes and have held talks with his representatives.
• The proposed transfer is reportedly contingent on City first selling winger Savinho, with Tottenham’s initial €60 million bid for Savinho recently rejected.
• Arsenal, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are also reported to have monitored the Brazil forward’s situation but have stopped short of making formal offers.
• Diminished playing time under Xabi Alonso and a reported training delay have intensified speculation that Rodrygo will leave the Santiago Bernabéu this summer.
• City’s sale of James McAtee to Nottingham Forest demonstrates their strategy to reshape the squad and underscores the importance of outgoing deals in finalising incoming signings.
