Manchester City plan to thwart the Liverpool pursuit of a top forward
Guardiola and Manchester City are determined to come back better next season, and the club are prepared to spend big to improve the squad.
Their plans are set to have a major impact on Liverpool, as according to Fichajes, the Citizens have their eyes on a forward the Reds want.
Rodrygo is considering his future at Real Madrid ahead of the summer transfer window, and will leave if he doesn’t get assurances from incoming manager Xabi Alonso.
The Spanish giants are also pondering selling him given his current value, and Liverpool have already held talks with his representatives over a potential transfer.
However, it has been claimed that Manchester City are also interested and are confident of financially outmuscling their Premier League rivals in the race to land the Brazilian.
Real Madrid are prepared to sell him, and have set an £85m price tag ahead of the summer. The transfer fee will not be a problem for the Etihad outfit.
