BREAKING: Manchester City and Real Madrid could carry out a star player exchange operation in order bypass FFP regulations

Real Madrid may be amenable to a prospective player swap agreement with Manchester City that involves Rodrygo and Bernardo Silva, as indicated by a report from Defensa Central.

The report implies that Rodrygo, who caused a commotion prior to the Champions League final by questioning his future at Real Madrid, has attracted the attention of Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City.

Consequently, Manchester United has devised a strategy to acquire the Brazilian winger.

Rodrygo’s controversial remarks prior to the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund have been a significant topic of media discourse.

Rodrygo’s statements left supporters questioning his commitment to the team, despite Real Madrid’s hard-fought 2-0 victory, which secured their 15th European title.

Rodrygo suggested in an interview prior to the final at Wembley that he may not remain with Real Madrid. This statement was rapidly disseminated on social media and provoked a backlash from Real Madrid supporters.

In addition to the uncertainty, the prospective arrival of Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid could restrict Rodrygo’s playing time. Manchester City has reportedly taken notice of this situation.

Manchester City is reportedly contemplating a trade that would involve Bernardo Silva and an additional €45 million payment to secure Rodrygo’s transfer, as they are under pressure from both the Premier League and UEFA due to numerous financial regulation violations.

Rodrygo joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2019 for a comparable sum. Rodrygo and Florentino Perez, the President of Real Madrid, have both expressed their unwillingness to separate ways, despite the current speculation.

Nevertheless, the potential for a swap transaction that involves an additional prominent player could potentially alter their stance.

Although the concept of replacing Rodrygo with Bernardo is still in its infancy, it has generated substantial interest.

Silva is highly regarded by Manchester City, and the addition of €45 million to the transaction demonstrates their seriousness in acquiring Rodrygo.

The outcome of this prospective swap is still uncertain; however, it underscores the ongoing strategic initiatives of prominent European clubs to fortify their squads.
