Manchester City welcome Tottenham Hotspur to The Etihad in the pick of this weekend’s Premier League fixtures.
The Citizens began the new season impressively, cruising to a 4-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux on Saturday.
Erling Halend netted twice against Wolves, while new signings Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki were also on target.
City have added a number of players to Pep Guardiola’s squad this summer, in response to their underwhelming campaign last term.
Now, though, it appears that the eight-time Premier League winners could still be in the running to land one of La Liga’s biggest stars before the window closes.
According to Football Insider, the representatives of Real Madrid winger Rodrygo have travelled to the UK to hold talks with interested clubs about the possibility of a spectacular move.

The report claims that both Man City and Premier League champions Liverpool are interested in the Brazilian, who was an unused substitute during Real’s La Liga opener against Osasuna on Monday night.
Real Madrid are said to be willing to listen to offers for the winger in the final days of the window, despite his importance to the club over recent years.
Rodrygo, 24, joined Real from Brazilian side Santos back in 2019 and has since made 270 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring 68 goals and providing 51 assists.
The report claims that the player himself is open to the idea of leaving Madrid and is keen to join a club that are playing in the Champions League.
Man City are said to have already agreed personal terms with the Brazil international ahead of a proposed move, and it appears that the winger could still make the switch to England in the closing stages of the window with his agents now in the UK.
