Manchester City have not made any approach for Real Madrid’s Rodrygo as a potential replacement for Julian Alvarez, who is expected to complete his move to Atletico Madrid soon. Despite reports suggesting City’s interest in the 23-year-old forward, there has been no offer or contact made, and it is believed that Rodrygo would turn down any approach from the Premier League champions.
