Manchester City will consider an approach for Real Madrid’s Rodrygo should Savinho leave.
Savinho was left out of the matchday squad for City’s Premier League opener as Pep Guardiola’s side comfortably defeated Wolves on Saturday.
The 21-year-old only arrived in Manchester last summer and contributed eight Premier League assists in his maiden campaign at the Etihad.
However, after finding himself falling down the pecking order amid more arrivals this summer Savinho is intent on leaving the club in search of first team football, with Tottenham reported to be interested.
Should Savinho leave this summer, City have earmarked his countryman Rodrygo as a potential replacement.
The Brazilian has already won two Champions League titles during his six years in the Spanish capital since joining Real from Santos in 2019.
Manchester City will consider a move for Rodrygo if Savinho departs the club this summer
Savinho has been linked with a move away from the Etihad just one year after joining City
Meanwhile Pep Guardiola’s side could also move for Gianluigi Donnarumma if Ederson is to leave
Last season however, he was limited to just 22 LaLiga starts, and could look for a move with the World Cup on the horizon.
Meanwhile City are awaiting an improved offer from Galatasaray for goalkeeper Ederson.
Like Savinho, Ederson was also absent from Saturday’s clash with Wolves at Molineux.
He had stomach problems yesterday, he vomited and didn’t feel good,’ said Guardiola. ‘The doctors decided he should stay in Manchester.’
Earlier this week Daily Mail Sport reported that Galatasaray made an offer of around £8.6million for the 31-year-old who has been considering his future over the past year.
His departure would pave the way for City to bid for Gianluigi Donnarumma at Paris St Germain.
