Savinho’s Exit and Rodrygo’s Potential Arrival…
Manchester City could throw a monkey wrench in Liverpool’s transfer plans if they buy Real Madrid’s Rodrygo before the transfer window shuts on September 1. Some say Rodrygo is more out of place in Madrid than a penguin in a desert, especially because Xabi Alonso doesn’t seem to prioritize him in the line-up. Despite being benched in Real’s 1-0 win against Osasuna, Rodrygo’s skills are hotter than a ghost pepper, sparking interest from Europe’s big clubs. With Real Madrid demanding €80 million for Rodrygo, City’s interest in him as a Savinho replacement could present a real pickle for Liverpool.
Liverpool has been eyeing Rodrygo ever since Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz took their exits. But Manchester City, like a ninja in a football jersey, is creeping up swiftly in reports, possibly seeing Rodrygo as the perfect stand-in for Savinho, who just tasted Premier League grass last season and is already on Tottenham’s radar. If Tottenham’s offer is strong enough to sway Savinho and if Rodrygo leapfrogs his way to City, Liverpool’s late salsa for this former Santos star could end up as frantic as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. And to spice it up, City omitted Manuel Akanji and Ilkay Gundogan as the transfer circus rushes to a close.
