Pep Guardiola's crazy idea

Man City's captain intends to bring Jude Bellingham to Etihad in the near future.

Pep wants Bellingham.

Fichajes reports Pep Guardiola has proposed a sensational swap deal, including Rodri and a large sum of money, in exchange for Real Madrid youngster Jude Bellingham.

According to Transfermarkt , Rodri is valued at 90 million euros. Man City will pay an additional amount to bring the total value of the deal to 150 million euros. This is considered Manchester City's strongest effort to recruit the English player, who is considered one of the most complete midfielders in the world .

Guardiola has long been fascinated by Bellingham's intelligent, powerful and creative style of play. At 22, he is not only the future of English football but also a central figure in Real Madrid's style of play. Pep believes Bellingham would fit perfectly into his system, becoming a key piece to help Man City maintain their position in the Premier League and progress further in the Champions League.

However, Real Madrid have a clear stance: Bellingham is not for sale. President Florentino Perez and coach Xabi Alonso see him as a pillar of a long-term project. Although they highly value Rodri, Real still reject any possibility of a trade, regardless of the attractive transfer value.

For Man City, Guardiola believes the development of Nico Gonzalez can compensate for the departure of Rodri. But the requirement to include Bellingham in the negotiations makes the deal almost impossible.
