City’s elimination from the Champions League gave the Catalan coach the wonderful idea of signing the Brazilian attacker no matter what.
The Brazilian striker Rodrygo leaves He had a feast as he scored twice and in different games Manchester City from Pep Guardiola. He was the author of the 2-1 win at the Santiago Bernabéu and then in Etihad Stadium the one responsible for the opening goal that almost ended the series had it not been for the somewhat agonizing goal from Kevin De Bruyne.
Guardiola I knew that Rodrygo It would be crucial in the second leg, and it was. There is no doubt that the Catalan coach has the Rio striker on his wish list and if it came down to him he would sign him with his eyes closed. But right now the 23-year-old attacker It’s a fundamental piece in the ultra-offensive scheme of Real Madrid.
If Guardiola stays at City, Rodrygo will be his first signing
In the last few hours it became known that the management of the Citizens Club has started planning the 2024/25 season without a coach. Apparently they have sacked the Catalan coach even though he still has one season left. Not to mention that with him on board, the city team won their first Champions League and a further 15 titles in the last eight years.
When City finally lets Guardiola’s contract expire, the Catalan coach will be asking for a number of signings for the 2024-25 Champions League. The first of them will undoubtedly be Rodrygo. But the former Barcelona player knows it is not an easy operation. However, there is a formula that could work in the British team’s favor.
Mbappé could solve Rodrygo’s commitment to Manchester City
The attacker from Rio is currently an integral part of Carlo Ancelotti’s tactical plan. Their trident consists of Vini on the left, Bellingham in the middle and the former Santos on the right. But that formation could change in the 2024-25 season with the arrival of a new striker. We’re talking about the Frenchman Kylian Mbappé.
With the arrival of the French attacker, the madridistas’ offensive figure at the top would change slightly. Vinicius and the England striker would still be in the starting eleven, but the former Monaco player would start in place of Rodrygo. This means that the Brazilian’s role would become secondary, something he would not tolerate. This is where Manchester City would come to the rescue.
