Times have changed, it is said that Guardiola no longer needs Real Madrid s double stars

According to Spanish Radio Ser, Real Madrid plans to pay more than 100 million euros to offer Rodrigo and Camavenga to the deal. As time goes by, Guardiola no longer needs Real Madrid's double stars since the 2025 winter window, Manchester City has begun an unprecedented reconstruction. While the Blue Moon uniforms were waving the checkbook, two stars who were frustrated at Real Madrid also entered Guardiola's vision. The vacancy left by De Bruyne was unfilled, and Guardiola had considered splitting the Belgian tactical responsibilities, which were borne by Camavenga and Rodrigo respectively.

With the addition of Ait Nuri, Reindes and Sherky, Manchester City's wings and midfielders have been effectively strengthened. Considering that Savigno and Doku (both left wingers) are still highly expected by Guardiola, the Blue Moon Legion actually does not need Rodrigo and Camavenga, and it is obviously unimaginable to exchange them for the team's tactical core.

The key pawn for Manchester City's reconstruction, Rodri is indispensable

From Manchester City's series of signing operations in the past six months, it can be seen that Guardiola's reconstruction goal is to replicate the personnel configuration and tactical play during the "Triple Crown" period. Around the "tall central axis" composed of Gwadior, Rodri and Haaland, Reindez, Ait Nuri, Sherki and Marmush provide technical elements. As a core player in the four battles, Rodri can be regarded as Manchester City's set-up star. Nico Gonzalez is not adapting to the situation after landing in the Premier League, which makes Mr. Ballon d'Or status more and more important. Manchester City, who is not short of money, will not let this core player go easily.
