Man City in Secret Talks to Hijack ‘World-Class Superstar’ Transfer from…

According to reports, Manchester City hope to finalize the spectacular transfer of Real Madrid star Rodrygo before Premier League rivals Liverpool and Arsenal this summer.

Rodrygo felt disgruntled at Madrid last season as he dropped down the pecking order following the arrival of Kylian Mbappe. The winger concluded the season with 14 goals and 11 assists in 54 matches across all competitions, albeit spending significantly more time as a substitute than he would have preferred.

Rodrygo would want to play on the left flank, but this is not possible while Vinicius Junior and Mbappe are at the Bernabeu.

New Madrid manager Xabi Alonso wanted to evaluate Rodrygo at the Club World Cup before making a final decision on his future.

The attacker has appeared in the tournament three times, and Madrid will meet Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals. However, only one of Rodrygo’s three appearances has been in the starting eleven.

The Athletic announced on Thursday that Alonso has given Madrid permission to sell Rodrygo, a move that will greatly boost his transfer budget.

Arsenal had been heavily projected to lure the 24-year-old to England, but they are suddenly facing stiff competition.

According to TBR, Manchester City are ‘in talks’ with Rodrygo’s agents about a potentially lucrative deal.

Rodrygo’s representatives made ‘contact’ with Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, PSG, and Bayern Munich to inform them that the Brazil star is available for transfer.

Rodrygo has been priced at €90 million (£78 million or $106 million).

City may increase their interest in Rodrygo as Pep Guardiola seeks to replace Jack Grealish on the left wing. Grealish was left out of City’s Club World Cup team and has been listed for £40 million (€46 million or $54 million).

Rodrygo would be an excellent replacement because he is regarded as one of the best – and deadliest – wingers in the world. Rodrygo has 68 goals for Madrid and has contributed significantly to the club’s success, including two Champions League crowns and three La Liga wins. Luka Modric, his Madrid teammate, has previously described him as a ‘world-class superstar’.

Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal converge on Rodrygo.
Liverpool are considering Rodrygo as a potential replacement for Luis Diaz, who remains a priority target for Barcelona.

Numerous sources have indicated that Arsenal are huge fans of Rodrygo. He is a dream addition for Mikel Arteta, and Arsenal has undertaken many rounds of talks with the player’s representatives.

David Ornstein has detailed how Arsenal’s decision to sell Gabriel Martinelli will bankroll a move to replace him with Rodrygo. However, Arsenal are unwilling to allow Martinelli go, casting doubt on both signings.

According to reports, Rodrygo’s ‘priority’ next move is to Arsenal. However, it is difficult to anticipate where he will finish up, as City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and a number of other clubs are vying for his services.

City has signed Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, and Marcus Bettinelli this summer. They want to replace Kyle Walker at right-back with Tino Livramento, but they’re having trouble convincing Newcastle United to sell.

City began their squad renovation in January, signing Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez, Abdukodir Khusanov, and Vitor Reis.

Man City in Secret Talks to Hijack ‘World-Class Superstar’ Transfer from Liverpool and Arsenal

Manchester City are reportedly in advanced talks to pull off a jaw-dropping move that could leave both Liverpool and Arsenal stunned. According to inside sources, Pep Guardiola’s side is quietly working behind the scenes to land a world-class superstar — and they’re moving fast to seal the deal before their Premier League rivals can react.

Yes, you read that right. While the football world assumed this superstar was destined for Anfield or the Emirates, City have swooped in with a plan that could blow both clubs out of the water. And if everything falls into place, the Premier League title race might be decided before a single ball is kicked.

Insiders close to the negotiations say talks are “well underway” and that Guardiola has made this player a top priority. The City boss reportedly views the superstar as the missing piece of his next-generation squad — a move that could redefine the club’s dominance in England and Europe.

What makes this even more shocking is how stealthily City have moved. While Liverpool and Arsenal were basking in transfer link headlines, City made their approach behind closed doors. No bidding wars, no media hype — just quiet, calculated progress.

The superstar in question is said to be eager to join a team that competes for every trophy, every season. City’s treble-winning pedigree and Guardiola’s legendary influence are reportedly tipping the scales in their favor.

Fans of all three clubs are now glued to every update, wondering if this move could really happen — and what it means for the balance of power in the Premier League. Could City really snatch this generational talent right out from under their rivals’ noses?

All signs point to yes. And if the deal is completed, it could go down as one of the most explosive transfers of the summer window.

This is more than a transfer — it’s a statement. And Manchester City just might be about to shout the loudest.
