Bombshell: Rodrygo swaps the Premier League for the Bundesliga thanks to Cristiano's team

Al-Nassr wants to sign Coman and Bayern would be forced to look for another winger; that's where Rodrygo comes in

The transfer market could take an unexpected turn. Rodrygo Goes, one of the most talked-about names of the summer, is once again on Bayern Munich's radar. The move would be indirectly related to Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr.

The Saudi club is preparing an offer close to €30 million ($32.6 million) to sign Kingsley Coman. The Frenchman has a contract with Bayern, but he could accept the multi-million proposal until 2028. If his departure is finalized, a spot would open up on the wing that could be filled by the Brazilian from Real Madrid.

Competition in the Bavarian attack

The signing of Luis Díaz has strengthened Bayern, but the squad has lost two pure wingers: Sané and Coman himself. That's why bringing in another attacking player is a priority for the German champion.

Rodrygo is one of the Bavarian fans' favorites. Christian Falk, a journalist close to the club, stated that the Brazilian would be "a really interesting signing" and that the supporters are pushing for action to be taken.

Real Madrid would have valued the player at €100 million ($108.7 million). However, they would be willing to listen to offers close to that figure. Liverpool is another club closely following the '11', although so far it hasn't made a formal proposal.

Arsenal, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain are also keeping an eye on the situation. Even so, Bayern and Liverpool seem to be in the best position.

The role of Al Nassr

The operation that could unlock everything is Coman's departure to Al Nassr. Cristiano Ronaldo's team is looking to make a splash in the European market and sees the Frenchman as a star capable of leading its project.

If Coman leaves, Bayern will have to move quickly. Rodrygo fits the profile, youth, and experience in major events. In addition, the Brazilian's situation at Madrid isn't entirely stable afterMbappé's first season and the desired growth of Endrick and the emergence of Gonzalo.

For now, there are no advanced negotiations. If Al Nassr manages to convince Coman, Bayern could go all out for Rodrygo. A signing that would change the Brazilian's destiny and shake up the market in the coming weeks.
