Manchester City are reportedly ready to launch a swap deal for Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali and England international Elliot Anderson, with the two players valued at a combined £190m. The move comes as uncertainty over Rodri’s future grows, prompting the club to act before the squad’s rhythm erodes further.
City may offer Newcastle United a package of players such as James Trafford and Rico Lewis to facilitate the swap, reflecting a flexible approach to the transfer. The potential departure of Rodri, who has expressed interest in a move to Real Madrid, adds urgency to the club’s plans.
