Neither Vinicius nor Ancelotti: Arabia goes all-in for another Madrid star and wants him immediately.
After failed attempts to lure Carlo Ancelotti and Vinicius Jr., Saudi Arabia has now set its sights on another Real Madrid star—Rodrygo Goes. His exceptional form and elite-level performances have caught the attention of Saudi clubs, with Al Hilal reportedly making a move to sign him this winter as Neymar’s replacement.
Rodrygo Rejects Saudi Arabia’s Interest
With just hours left before the transfer window closes, a move seems nearly impossible. Rodrygo himself has made it clear that he has no intention of leaving Real Madrid, where he is happy and settled.
Following Madrid’s match against Salzburg, the Brazilian forward addressed speculation about his future, confirming that he is staying put despite the arrival of Kylian Mbappé next season.
A Stellar Season for Rodrygo
Rodrygo is enjoying a sensational campaign, having already scored 13 goals this season. He is the team’s third top scorer, behind Vinicius Jr. (17 goals) and Mbappé (22 goals).
Often operating outside the media spotlight, Rodrygo continues to prove his worth through hard work and decisive performances. Since the start of 2025, he has played 8 matches, scoring 7 goals and providing 2 assists—solidifying his status as one of the best players in the world.
Florentino Pérez is well aware of his value. For Real Madrid, Rodrygo is untouchable.
