bloomshorts Manchester City’s Ambitious Transfer Targets
Manchester City are reportedly ready to step up their efforts to sign Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes and Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The big-name duo now seem to be emerging as Man City’s top priority targets as we edge closer towards the end of the summer transfer window.
The Potential Impact of Signing Rodrygo and Donnarumma
According to Fichajes, City are ready to make a €100m offer to Real for Rodrygo, while PSG ‘keeper Donnarumma is likely to cost around €50m. If City can get these €150m signings done it could really transform their fortunes ahead of the new season, with Pep Guardiola’s side arguably facing a bit of an uphill task to keep up with ever-improving Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea sides.
Transfer Rumors and Realities
Some fans might be aware that Fichajes aren’t exactly considered a top-tier source, but what they’re reporting here isn’t that out of step with what has also been covered elsewhere. Fabrizio Romano posted just a few days ago that City are considering Rodrygo, though of course that’s quite different from preparing to make a huge bid for him. Romano has also reported on Donnarumma’s PSG future, with the Italy international also notably missing his club’s Super Cup clash against Tottenham this week.
The Road Ahead for Manchester City
It’s certainly hard to see Donnarumma staying at PSG now, with both the player and his agent speaking out publicly about the situation. Rodrygo might be a different case, but it’s also fair to say that City would probably require a replacement for Savinho, while Rodrygo doesn’t look guaranteed to play regularly at the Bernabeu this season.
