Recently, Pep Guardiola has "suggested" to Manchester City's management to include Jack Grealish in negotiations with Real Madrid. The manager hopes to exchange Grealish plus a portion of transfer fee for 24-year-old Brazilian international Rodrygo.
Firstly, the 24-year-old Rodrygo has an age advantage over the 29-year-old Grealish; secondly, the Brazilian winger has scored 23 goals and provided 13 assists this season, showing top-tier potential; furthermore, Grealish has made 40 Premier League appearances in the past two seasons, gradually being marginalized and becoming a target for Manchester City's summer clearout.
However, as a member of Manchester City's treble-winning squad, Grealish possesses excellent ball control skills and passing vision. Real Madrid's offensive system emphasizes possession and quick passing, and Grealish could help the team organize attacks in midfield and supply passes to forwards.
Currently, after the signings of Madueke and Zeqiri, Arsenal's willingness to sign a new striker has weakened. As for Liverpool, they want him to replace Diaz. Once the Reds sell Diaz at a high price, they will officially launch the pursuit of Rodrygo. At present, Manchester City are facing competition from the likes of Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
