Manchester City needs to meet two conditions to sign Rodrigo: Savinho's departure and a bid of 100 million euros.

In recent days, Manchester City has been associated with Rodrigo. Given that Gonzalo Garcia is ahead of Rodrigo in the pecking order, it implies that Rodrigo is essentially the second-choice substitute in Alonso's strategy, thus not included in the plans, while Guardiola greatly admires Rodrigo.

According to the latest reports from renowned Italian journalist Romano, Manchester City's strategy is quite clear: they will only attempt to bring in Rodrigo if Savinho transfers to Tottenham. However, Real Madrid's stance on Rodrigo is also quite straightforward; the Brazilian winger can leave, but it must meet Real Madrid's asking price of 100 million euros.

It is reported that Tottenham's initial offer for Savinho did not satisfy Manchester City, and only upon the completion of this transfer will City begin their pursuit of Rodrigo.

In my personal opinion, although Rodrigo predominantly plays as a right winger at Real Madrid, his best position is on the left wing. Savinho typically occupies the right wing position. If Savinho departs, there would be no necessity for Manchester City to spend 100 million euros on Rodrigo. Given Rodrigo's physicality and relatively slow pace, whether he can adapt to the Premier League remains uncertain. Currently, apart from Manchester City, no other teams are interested in Rodrigo due to Real Madrid's 100 million euro valuation, which is clearly a case of having a price but no market.
