It is news that Manchester City has taken the lead in recruiting Hodrigo.

British Cutoffside reported on the 10th (Korea time) "Pep Guardiola's Manchester City has overtaken Liverpool in the competition to recruit Real Madrid star Hodrigo."

The media reported that "Manchester City is now known as the leading club in the race to recruit Hodrigo." Liverpool have been linked with him throughout the summer but have not really come up with an offer`Liverpool are still interested in him, but Manchester City appear to be in the upper hand in the recruitment race.'

Hodrigo's future has been a big topic all summer. Hodrigo was a clear starter under Carlo Ancelotti, but his position narrowed after Xavi Alonso took over. Hodrigo could have made the decision to leave the team with less time to play.

The media reportedly "Hodrigo did not accept the role of rotation and was willing to transfer."Real Madrid was also ready to accept his transfer deal if the requirements were met. His agent explored the market, but it didn't work out as planned."

In the end, Hodrigu decided to stay at Real Madrid. His future remains uncertain, and what role he will play in Alonso's coaching system in the future is a big variable. If he does not consistently get a chance to play, a transfer is expected to be inevitable in the winter transfer market.

Throughout the transfer market last summer, Hodrigo's side reportedly pursued a transfer to Liverpool. Liverpool rated him highly, but reportedly did not move as they were focusing on signing Alexander Isaac from Newcastle United. The media said Liverpool is unlikely to actively recruit Hodrigo in the next transfer market.

"Liverpool under Arne Slot are still interested in Hodrigo, but they are unlikely to make another big investment in the winter," the media said. "Pep Guardiola's Manchester City appear to have outpaced Liverpool in the race for Hodrigo."

Guardiola has long valued Hodrigo highly and sees him as the right player for his squad. He is paying attention to the advantages of Hodrigo, who can play anywhere in the offensive camp. Manchester City are likely to push for negotiations in the January transfer window. Hodrigo's transfer fee is estimated at 80 million euros (about 130 billion won).
