Rodrygo has grown unhappy at Madrid following the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, which has pushed him down the pecking order.
Despite contributing 14 goals and 11 assists in 54 games last season, the Brazilian spent more time on the bench than he preferred.
The 24-year-old favors playing on the left wing, a position now dominated by Vinicius Junior and Mbappe.
With Madrid manager Xabi Alonso prioritizing other options, Rodrygo has been allowed to leave to help fund new transfers.
Arsenal had been heavily linked with the Brazilian star, but they now face strong competition.
According to reports from TBR, Manchester City are in direct talks with Rodrygo’s agents regarding a potential deal.
Rodrygos representatives have reached out to top clubs across Europe, including Chelsea, PSG, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool.
Madrid are believed to value him at €90 million (£78 million), reports Team Talk.
Man City manager Pep Guardiola is eyeing Rodrygo as a potential replacement for Jack Grealish, who has been transfer-listed for £40 million.
Rodrygo has scored 68 goals for Madrid and has won two Champions League titles and three LaLiga trophies.
