Real Madrid striker Hodrigu's transfer to Manchester City is making English Premier League (EPL) competitors nervous.
The British TRB Football Association announced on the 13th (Korea time) "Manchester City entered the bid to recruit Real Madrid star Hodrigo."Hodrigo was a key Real Madrid player, but time is running out."
Real Madrid reportedly conveyed its intention to sell to Hodrigu, and the player himself accepted the club's decision. Now Manchester City want to recruit Hodrigu, and his comments about Manchester City in the past are drawing attention again.
Hodrigu knows Manchester City well. He has faced City nine times in official matches for Real Madrid since 2020, with the last being in February this year only six months ago.
Just before the match, Hodrigo said in an interview, "I don't like playing against Manchester City very much. Just as no team enjoys playing against us, no team likes to play against Manchester City."
Hodrigu is also a nightmare for Man City.
Rodrigo poured cold water on Manchester City when it tried to beat Real Madrid in the 2022 UEFA Champions League. Hodrigu scored consecutive goals in the 45th and 46th minutes of the second half, making overtime with a total score tie in the first and second games. Later, Karim Benzema scored the winning goal and Real Madrid advanced to the final.
We have to wait and see if Hodrigu, who is showing respect for Manchester City, can head to the EPL. As Manchester City lacks sharpness in the offense, Hodrigo can be seen as the key to strengthening its power. He is considered a world class player. His transfer could come as a burden for teams competing in the EPL championship next season, including Liverpool and Arsenal.
Hodrigo is currently completely out of the main competition in the team. Prominent stars such as Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham are leading the attack. As it is expected that there will not be many opportunities to play in the next season, he will prefer to move to a team that has secured time to play.
