Man City are now \u201cpushing\u201d to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid this summer as they look for a replacement for Jack Grealish, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Citizens have got a plethora of attacking options at their disposal with Rayan Cherki coming into the team over the summer transfer window<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n But Man City<\/strong><\/a> are still looking to add another winger to their squad after allowing Jack Grealish to move to Premier League rivals Evert0n over the summer.<\/p>\n One of their main targets in that position is Real Madrid winger Rodrygo with rumours that he will allowed to leave the Bernabeu this summer.<\/p>\n After being left out of the starting XI of their opening La Liga match of the season against Osasuna, Rodrygo was surprisingly given a starting berth over the weekend against Real Oviedo.<\/p>\n And Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso had praise for the Brazil star in his post-match comments, he said:\u00a0\u201cHe had a good game. In the first half, on that side, he linked up well with [Alvaro] Carreras, [Kylian] Mbappe sometimes dropped, and so did [Arda] Guler.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Manchester City transfer cheat code: Man Utd among those fleeced for almost \u00a3300m during Pep reign<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cHe had one-on-one situations and a few shots. Oviedo were quite deep and it was difficult to find the space, but I liked it. After last week, we needed everyone, and Rodrygo is one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n Rodrygo was recently left out of next Brazil squad too and new boss Carlo Ancelotti said the Real Madrid winger could call him for an explanation any time.<\/p>\n Ancelotti said: \u201cIf they want explanations, they can call me.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Rodrygo has my number. I don\u2019t know if Neymar does, but he probably does. \u201cI have a lot of love for Rodrygo. Yesterday he played very well for Real Madrid.<\/p>\n MORE MAN CITY COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> \u201cIt was his first game after a long time, so he still has time to recover and return to the national team.\u201d A player who plays in the national team must be 100% physically. It\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n There are a lot of signs that Rodrygo could be on the move this summer in order to look for regular game time and reclaim his place in the Brazil squad in time for the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n And now former Man Utd and Tottenham scout Mick Brown \u2013 who is still well-connected in the Premier League \u2013 insists Man City are now \u201cpushing\u201d for Rodrygo.<\/p>\n
