Guardiola continues to insist on signing Rodrigo, and Real Madrid are already considering a swap deal, although they know it will be difficult.
Manchester City is witnessing the departure of Julian Alvarez getting closer and closer, and Guardiola believes that he will not be able to keep him, which prompted him to once again insist on contracting with Rodrigo, the person he chose to replace the Argentine.
According to information received from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central: Real Madrid is clear about this matter: they do not want to sell the Brazilian. They trust him to be one of the main players in the team for many years to come, and therefore the swap deal that Pep Guardiola is trying to propose is out of the question.
Although they are not considering a swap deal for Julian Alvarez, they would be willing to consider a deal for Haaland. He is the only Manchester City player who Real Madrid believe will have a place in the Whites at the moment.
They do not believe that the English team will accept, but it is the only option for Guardiola to obtain Rodrigo and the truth is that Rodrigo’s departure will only be through a transfer deal, and there are also many conditions that must be met for this to happen.
Firstly, the Brazilian must ask to leave, and secondly, an offer worth more than 120 million euros must arrive. If these two conditions are not met, it will be difficult for him to leave.
