Rodrygo Goes has averaged just 16 minutes per game under Xabi Alonso, spending 7 matches in a row on the bench. Could Manchester City be the perfect place for him to revive his career?

Because of this, City are unlikely to let Savinho leave for Spurs before this weekend’s Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium. The last thing Pep Guardiola and the City board want is to see the winger line up against them and possibly score a decisive goal. What’s Next for Savinho? The situation remains open. While Tottenham Hotspur are strongly interested, timing is everything. City are expected to handle any talks c...
