Is Rodrygo Heading to Manchester City?…
Kylian Mbappe hilariously dubbed Rodrygo his ‘cousin’ after their dazzling performance for Real Madrid in a friendly against WSG Tirol. After Mbappe scored Madrid’s third goal, Rodrygo slid in like a penguin on ice, replacing Vinicius Junior and finishing the game 4-0. Rather than bagging a hat-trick, Mbappe passed the ball to Rodrygo, making fans wonder if he’s secretly applying for a role on ‘The Generous Goalscorer.’ Their camaraderie was celebrated on Instagram—Mbappe tagged a photo “Mi primo,” to which Rodrygo, not wanting to be outdone in the family reunion sentiment, chimed back, “Gracias primo.”
Amid these playful exchanges, Manchester City has reportedly mingled with the transfer rumor mill, eyeing Rodrygo with a figure around £86 million fluttering in the air. Meanwhile, Jack Grealish is packing sunscreen for his Everton adventure, and the debate over Savinho’s future continues, now hotter than a jalapeño at a chili cook-off. City would need to make some squad room for this ‘hypothetical cousin.’ Keep up with all these spicy twists and turns by subscribing to the Manchester City WhatsApp group and various updates from The Manchester Evening News.
