Rodrygo Goes had one of his worst seasons at Real Madrid , in line with the team's performance. He didn't start a single match at the Club World Cup, and Xabi Alonso had to clarify his situation: "He's going to be important." However, the capital hasn't ruled out a possible sale.
The Brazilian arrived in Madrid in 2019, when he turned 18, from Santos. The Whites had paid 45 million euros to secure the services of a promising youngster. It wasn't until the year of comebacks, playing a supporting but heroic role, that Rodrygo became the apple of Real Madrid's eye.
Now, after a season in which he has had less prominence due to the arrival of Mbappé, the player is considering leaving. In fact, as The Athletic reported, neither Xabi Alonso nor Florentino Pérez will oppose his departure if a suitable offer comes along . The player is still pondering the issue.
Xabi and Florentino's opinionArsenal was the first club to contact Rodrygo 's entourage this summer, but they prioritized other positions, such as center forward. For a deal to be possible, players like Gabriel Martinelli or Leandro Tossard would have to leave . Madrid could demand around €90 million for the transfer.

Tottenham, in fact, aren't interested in him, as has been reported elsewhere. Liverpool , for now, are not serious about anything. The Reds are prioritizing the signing of Alexander Isak, but Newcastle are demanding 150 million, an exorbitant sum . Darwin Núñez's possible departure will require a strengthening of the forward line.
The domino effectIsak is the priority, but a domino effect could occur, meaning Rodrygo ends up at Liverpool. Bayern Munich are confident of reaching an agreement for Luis Díaz to join Germany for 75 million. If this deal is finalized, the English club could use that sum to sign the Brazilian as his replacement.

Rodrygo has already won two Champions League titles with Real Madrid and left his supporting role behind in the 2023/24 season, when Carlo Ancelotti's diamond-shaped approach led Real Madrid to the double . His partnership with Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior is still fresh in the memories of Real Madrid fans. The summer will tell if he continues like this for much longer.
