Man City Face Rodri Transfer Threat Amid Interest from Two Clubs
Manchester City is currently facing transfer speculations regarding two of its key players, Rodri and Kalvin Phillips.
Rodri Attracts Real Madrid’s Interest
Reports suggest that Real Madrid is highly interested in Manchester City’s star midfielder, Rodri. They see him as an ideal mentor for their young talents, Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham. Rodri played a crucial role in Spain’s victory over England in the Euro 2024 final held in Berlin.
At 28, Rodri’s value to both his club and country is undeniable. Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Perez, is reportedly a big admirer of Rodri. This summer, Real Madrid has already made significant moves in the transfer market, including signing Kylian Mbappe from PSG and acquiring Bellingham last year. The club added another Champions League title to their collection last season after defeating Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
Rodri, who joined Manchester City from Atletico Madrid in 2019, is no stranger to the Spanish capital. He has made 257 appearances for City, winning four Premier League titles and the 2023 Champions League, contributing to their historic treble. The transfer rumor was highlighted by El Nacional.
Kalvin Phillips Linked with Premier League Moves
According to The Sunday Mirror, Everton and Fulham are interested in signing Kalvin Phillips this summer. The 28-year-old has struggled to find his form at Manchester City, and a permanent move seems likely.
Phillips, who spent part of last season on loan at West Ham, failed to regain the performance level that once made him a regular for the England national team. City acquired him for £42.5 million in 2022, but he has only started three Premier League matches since then. He has earned 31 caps for England but was left out of the Euro 2024 squad.
City’s Season Recap and Transfer Focus
Manchester City concluded the 2023/24 season with their fourth consecutive Premier League title. However, they missed out on another treble after defeats in the FA Cup final and Champions League quarter-finals. Pep Guardiola and his team are now shifting their focus to the summer transfer window.
