Bombshell: Guardiola Puts a Most Bizarre Swap Deal on Florentino's Table

Debates surrounding Real Madrid after losing by a landslide in the Spanish Supercopa final have left several players heavily criticized by the fanbase. One of the most notable, besides his teammates in defense, is Rodrygo Goes: one of the first to "fall out" of the revamped starting eleven planned by the Reggiolo coach.

All predictions point to the "11" returning to the bench after a streak of starts that hasn't yielded the expected returns for everyone within the club. His return to the bench, as well as the discontent surrounding his competitive performance, would have rekindled rumors about his future at Madrid for summer.

Because Rodrygo Goes could leave Santiago Bernabéu changing room heading toward two clubs that have always wanted him: PSG and Manchester City. However, it would be the entity coached by Pep Guardiola that would be leading according to information from El Gol Digital. Revealing a swap proposed from the noble area of the Etihad Stadium.

To acquire the Osasco striker's card, Manchester City would be willing to let Savinho go to Real Madrid. The performance of the "26" sky blue, while correct after his excellent loan to Girona, wouldn't give him enough to consolidate in the starting eleven. That is the goal of the former Catalan team player, especially now that the generational change in the cityzen team is approaching.

No options

AlthoughPep Guardiola sees Savinho himself as a safe bet, ahead of other previously more regular players, swapping him for Rodrygo would be an automatic "yes" for the Catalan coach. Despite everything, from the Valdebebas offices, all the necessary countermeasures have already been arranged to prevent this double transfer from happening.

Besides the natural resistance of the merengue executives to let Goes go, the striker doesn't seem willing to leave Santiago Bernabéu locker room either. With the complicity of the Madrid "11," the white leadership will refer to the release clause in the South American player's contract.

The competitive reality of the white club seems more than served with its current roster of forwards. The arrivals of Kylian Mbappé and Endrick, signed six months ago, have completed an area that continues to give headaches to the technical staff led by Carlo Ancelotti. The lack of goals in key matches, despite all the stars gathered, is a very concerning issue.

In any case, the goal of the Madrid bosses is to completely reform the defensive line. Severely "punished" by injuries in the last two seasons, Real Madrid's focus in the market is on finding center-backs who can provide longevity and quality in equal measure... as well as a left-back capable of competing with Ferland Mendy or Fran García in the medium-term future.
