If the results are poor, Guardiola will buy players. Manchester City wants Rodrigo, and Real Madrid has set the price at 100 million euros.

Since Guardiola's divorce, he has lost interest in being creative and studying tactics. Manchester City's performance has also faced setbacks, finishing last season without any titles. When the team's results decline, Guardiola pushes the club into a buying frenzy, spending heavily during both the winter and summer transfer windows, acquiring many players who often don't see much action, like Gonzalez and Houssanov. Guardiola has completely sidelined City's record signing Grealish, who will be loaned to Everton. Players like Doku, Savinho, and Foden can play as wingers, but Guardiola still wants Rodrigo, who has been overlooked by Real Madrid's new coach Alonso.

According to the latest reports from Italian transfer expert Romano, Manchester City is considering signing Rodrigo, with Real Madrid pricing him at 100 million euros.

It is reported that aside from Manchester City's interest in Rodrigo, he is largely going unnoticed by other clubs. On Manchester City's side, Grealish is set to join Everton, and Savinho and McAtee are also looking to leave for more consistent playing time. Therefore, Guardiola hopes the club will sign Rodrigo. Manchester City has faced Real Madrid multiple times in the Champions League in recent years, and Guardiola is impressed by Rodrigo's excellent performances in high-stakes matches. The player is keen to leave, as he has become a fringe player at Real Madrid, who are willing to let him go, but they are asking for 100 million euros.

The 24-year-old Rodrigo, a right-footed player, primarily plays as a right winger for Real Madrid, but his best position is actually as a left winger. Transfermarkt values him at 90 million euros, and he has three years left on his contract. Last season, he played 51 matches across all competitions, scoring 14 goals and providing 10 assists. Rodrigo struggled in the latter half of last season and has now gone five months without scoring. His speed is not great, and his physicality is lacking, raising questions about his ability to adapt to the Premier League. However, Manchester City has the financial resources and is willing to meet Guardiola's demands for new signings, so Real Madrid would certainly be pleased to sell Rodrigo for 100 million euros.
