No one expected that Manchester City could still make room for signing up for a number of key reinforcements in the near future. Just now, according to the latest news brought by the British media Telegraph. Manchester City hopes to lock in two deals in the last summer, and the team still wants to strengthen the front line and the back line. Senior executives can still free up enough transfer budgets and have plenty of salary space.

It is reported that Manchester City has intervened in the transfer of Real Madrid star Rodrigo at the request of coach Guardiola. The Brazilian striker has become a victim of Real Madrid this summer, due to the positional competition between Vinicius and Mbappe and the front line resources need to be balanced. And the senior management was unwilling to give up any of these two, so Rodrigo had to be sold by the team. Senior executives hope to recover more than 100 million euros of transfer fees from Rodrigo. It seems that in Real Madrid, whoever is more famous will stay.

Forwards like Rodrigo, who are very top-notch in combat, but slightly less famous, can only become victims. Real Madrid has put it on the shelves, but the major giants are in a wait-and-see state. After all, the asking price is indeed very high. Although Rodrigo is excellent, his personal data and on-field positioning can only be the No. 2 striker in the team. It is obviously unrealistic to make him the top card, which is the key to most giant teams unwilling to sign them at a high price. Previously, only Tottenham was willing to ask for the price, but immediately withdrew from the transaction. Real Madrid thought Rodrigo would not be able to sell, but with Manchester City's intervention, the situation reversed.

Manchester City has always had a different feeling about Rodrigo, why do you say so? Including coach Guardiola, Rodrigo always performed the best on the court when facing Real Madrid in the first two seasons of the Champions League. It can be said that his performance against Manchester City Rodrigo has always been at the top, and his performance is even better than Vivinihughes. It is this kind of performance that has made Guardiola miss it. He said in public interviews many times that if he has the chance, he must sign Rodrigo. Now the opportunity has finally come.

Telecom revealed that contact has been made between Manchester City and Real Madrid. Real Madrid still holds the 100 million euro asking price, but Manchester City hopes to compress the number to around 90 million euros. In this way, they will pay immediately. The pulling was underway on both sides, although it was not sure what the final transaction price was. But what is certain is that the possibility of this deal being officially announced is getting greater and greater. Moreover, authoritative reporter Romano also followed up on the report, so the authenticity can be guaranteed, and Manchester City really hopes to sign Rodrigo. And after the forward problem was solved. Manchester City's second goal is about goalkeepers.

Ederson's decline in form in recent seasons is obvious, and Manchester City hopes to clean it up. It just so happened that Paris Saint-Germain had a conflict with Donnarumma, and the players had already announced their departure. Without clarifying the next home, Manchester City seized the opportunity again. They have contacted the Italian star's team, and Donnarumma's asking price is not too exaggerated. A weekly salary of about £200,000 is enough, which is easy for Manchester City. And because there has been a fall between Donnarumma and Paris Saint-Germain, the transfer price is not expensive. The Telegraph said that Manchester City only needs to take out about 30 million euros to finalize the deal.

In other words, these two key reinforcements cost Manchester City about 120 million euros. At any node, this is very worthwhile. One is a young winger who has been tested at a high level, and the other is a strong contender for the first goalkeeper in football at this stage. For Manchester City, if they can lock these two transactions before closing the window, their overall lineup will be greatly improved next season.
