Florentino can kill two birds with one stone by selling Rodrygo, man for man

The club doesn't rule out the opportunity to carry out one of the most outstanding deals of the market

As everyone knows, Real Madrid is still closely following Rodrygo Goes's situation. The Brazilian footballer played again against RB Salzburg, although he didn't start. Xabi Alonso chose to bring him onto the field in the second half, when the match was 0-2 in favor of the Whites.

Rodrygo Goes came onto the field to bring freshness to Real Madrid's attack, although he once again appeared quite imprecise. The Carioca winger still hasn't established himself as a starting piece in Xabi Alonso's system and his departure remains open. In fact, several European teams are already considering making an offer or two.

Rodrygo, go to Manchester City?

Manchester City's interest in Rodrygo Goes has been present for several months. From the Etihad Stadium, they have made multiple approaches to the Brazilian footballer, although the Whites have always rejected the offers. Those close to the Carioca confirm that the player's top priority is to succeed even more with Real Madrid.

However, the Whites are open to all players who might change their minds and are determined to leave. If Rodrygo Goes puts a tempting offer on Florentino Pérez's table, the president will study the situation and decide.

A swap for Rodrigo Hernández?

Meanwhile, at Manchester City, a footballer continues to shine who, despite his age, is of great interest to Real Madrid. We're talking about Rodrigo Hernández "Rodri," whose presence at the Club World Cup has already been felt. In fact, despite his injury, the Spanish footballer remains one of Pep Guardiola's untouchable pieces at the English club.

Rumors about Real Madrid's interest in acquiring the services of the Madrid-born midfielder still exist. That's why the Whites could try a "Rodrygo for Rodri" swap to secure the Spanish pivot.

At first glance, we're talking about a rather attractive option, although Real Madrid would have to study it carefully. So would Manchester City, since they'd be letting go of a key footballer in recent years.
