Real Madrid striker Rodrygo Goes is reportedly a target for Manchester City, and they are prepared to trade Julian Alvarez in exchange to sign him.
According to a Defensa Central report, Man City may be open to offering Julian Alvarez in exchange for Real Madrid’s Brazilian forward Rodrygo Goes.
The young Brazilian international is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs but he remains a key part of Carlo Anclotti’s plans for the future of Spanish giants.
However, the Premier League champions have an a track record of regularly winning trophies. The prospect of playing for them would draw in any player.
A move to Man City could be ideal for Rodrygo
The 23-year-old Brazilian may benefit greatly from Pep Guardiola’s guidance as he develops and realises his extraordinary potential.
This season, Rodrygo has 13 goals and 8 assists in all competitions. He might not be a consistent starter for Real Madrid in the upcoming campaign, particularly if Kylian Mbappe ends up joining them.
The French World Cup winner is expected to move to Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season which is bad news for Rodrygo, who could lose his place in the starting line up.
At this point in his career, Rodrygo would want to play frequently, thus a transfer to Man City may be perfect for him.
Rodrygo would add quality to the devastating Man City attack
The Brazilian can play anywhere in the front three due to his versatility, and he and Erling Haaland might forge a great partnership if they are paired together.
It will be intriguing to see whether Real Madrid are willing to trade Rodrygo for Julian Alvarez.
Since joining Man City in the Premier League, the 24-year-old Argentine international has been a vital member of the team and has shown to be the perfect utility man.
The World Cup champion can play both as a central striker and in wide positions. He hasn’t been a consistent starter for Man City throughout his time there, but when needed, he has stepped up and performed well.
You just cited all the reasons why City should not and will not trade Alvarez for Rodrygo. That does not discount City making a bid for Rodrygo if he is considered good enough for the City team.
