Ôé¼100m out Ôé¼100m in: Man City pursue Rodrygo as Grealish replacement
Jack Grealish's exit to Everton has prompted Man City to push for Rodrygo.
Manchester City are reportedly plotting a move for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, amid the exits and impending departures from their forward line.

Rodrygo's future at Real Madrid has been a hot topic all summer, with his place in Xabi Alonso's plans in doubt. The winger has maintained a desire to remain at Los Blancos, but an inquiry from Pep Guardiola's side might be too tasty to pass on.
Manchester City's chances of signing Rodrygo
Like every top-billed talent at Real Madrid and Barcelona, Rodrygo's release clause is pegged at Ôé¼1 billion. However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid will not demand anything close to that.

Reports from Spain in recent weeks suggest that Los Blancos are prepared to move on from Rodrygo; however, they will only do so for the right price.

According to Fabrizio's report, that figure is around Ôé¼100 million, similar to what Manchester City paid for Grealish, who is now set to join Everton on loan after an underwhelming stint at the club.
Why Manchester City need Rodrygo
On top of Grealish's departure to Everton, the Cityzens are also close to losing young attacking midfielder James McAtee.
