If Rodrygo is relegated to a secondary role, several Premier clubs will try to tempt him and the most interested of all would be Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, a club that was recently praised by Rodrygo in an interview with GQ , when asked about the recent tie. of Champions between both:
“To be honest, we knew they (Manchester City) were better. For me, it is the best team in the world , the one that plays football the best. I think that the most difficult rival has already left, but that does not mean that it will be easy to win the final now. With Bayern it was very difficult and with Borussia it will be very difficult too,” he assured, considering Pep’s team as “the best in the world,” above his current club.
Although many have seen these statements as objective and sincere, being a team that won the treble last year, the proximity of these statements to the exit rumors and the rumors that have linked them to the Premier League have generated some discord among the merengue fans.
