Manchester City have now submitted a huge offer for a “spectacular” star, as Pep Guardiola thinks he could be the ideal addition to the forward line.
Man City considering new striker after win at Nottingham Forest
Man City kept the pressure on Arsenal at the top of the table. Premier League table with a 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon, and Rayan Cherki produced another impressive performance.
Indeed, the Frenchman assisted Tijjani Reijnders’ opening goal, before scoring the winner just seven minutes from the end of normal time, and Guardiola congratulated the 22-year-old after the match.
Phil Foden has also enjoyed a strong campaign, recording seven goals and two assists in the Premier League, while the Blues have held advanced talks over a deal for the AFC Bournemouth star. Antoine Séményowhose £65 million release clause expires on January 10.
However, Man City have now submitted a huge bid for a different striker, according to a Spanish report, which says an offer of €80m (£70m) has been tabled for Rodrygo, the star of Real Madridas Pep believes the Brazilian would be the ideal addition to his attack.
The Spanish side, however, rejected the proposal because it was structured as an upfront payment of €60m (£52m), with €20m (£17m) in potential top-ups, and they want to receive £70m as a fixed sum.
City remain determined to get the Madrid star over the line, but the La Liga side are in no rush to cash in, so it could be difficult to get a deal done.
Rodrygo could be ‘spectacular’ by signing for Man City
Hailed as ‘spectacular’ by former manager Carlo AncelottiIt’s no surprise that Man City are so keen on the 24-year-old, who has been in impressive form recently, grabbing two assists in Madrid’s 2-0 win over Sevilla in La Liga last time out.
The Osasco-born winger also scored in his side’s 2-1 defeat to City in the Champions League earlier this season, and he has contributed 70 goals and 55 assists in 291 outings for the Spanish side.
Not only that, but the former Santos man is an extremely impressive ball dribbler, averaging 5.79 progressive runs per 90 over the past year and 2.34 successful catches, putting him in the 94th and 91st percentiles, compared to other attacking midfielders and wingers.
Rodrygo clearly has the talent to succeed at the Etihad Stadium, but it wouldn’t be a huge blow if City miss out, given Cherki and Foden have been in such impressive form, while they also qualify to sign Semenyo, who has scored nine Premier League goals this season.
