Would definitely have him but reckon he/his agent is just putting out feelers and its nothing serious....he is looking for the reaction of the club as he knows his position is going to be in question with the arrival of other players. He wants reassurances/better deal thats all
Id have him in a heart beat (dont know much about his personality however and thats huge when it comes to city signing players)

Definitely. Kudus would be a great alternative to Paqueta. Versatile player, good footballer. Whenever his on the pitch, his presence is known and felt!

Rodrygo played a second striker type role when Benzema was at RM
He could probably play the role Pep has been asking Alvarez to do all season and be the ultimate upgrade
I don't think so. It's not like Rodrygo's goal contributions are off the charts! Off the ball Rodrygo isn't as effective or pressing as Alvarez. Attacking threat wise, they are almost similar with Julian edging him slightly.
Or I might be completely wrong, when Rodrygo fits in like a glove in the way we play. Perhaps our style of play might bring out the best in him!

Very rare Madrid sell players like that. Never rule anything out but I'd be very surprised if he was playing for us next season.
Still have a better record of selling top players compared to clubs like Bayern

Coz they have too much top players in their team, the sell one of them knowing full well that another one will join them.

Ridiculous price. There’d have to be some serious sales to facilitate it surely?

Doesn't sound like a real number...Sounds like an opening salvo type number somebody throws out in a negotiation.

Rags will get him for twice the price we are offering.
I actually think we have a better relationship behind the scenes with Madrid than people realise. Khaldoon meeting Perez at CL games, super league, Abu Dhabi investing in their new stadium etc. By no means do I think this means we will sign him but it certainly helps. There is also huge mutual respect due to the games the last 3 years.
They are getting Mbappe on a free and Endrick for 50m? They are saving crazy money on that Mbappe deal and want his transition to be as smooth as possible.
I agree that Madrid don’t normally sell superstars but they have so many sometimes they let one go. If they sold Ronaldo or Beckham they would sell Rodrygo.
Two things Tolm has said is they want Couto for 40m and the plan was always to sign a big name right winger. If we planned to sign Savio and loan him back to Girona, which we now can’t do because of a CL rule change, I still believe we will sign him and loan him out. A rule change doesn’t change how we run recruitment which minus some poor examples is second to none.
But now Bernado might be staying. Does that mean we don’t need a winger or does that mean we prioritise a winger and play him centrally again. Would free up the money we were expecting to use to sign Bruno.
