The surprising price for which Rodrygo would leave Real Madrid, very tempting.
Frustrated with his role under Ancelotti, the Brazilian forward may push for a summer exit—Arsenal and others already circling
Speculation continues to grow around the potential departure of Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid this summer. The Brazilian winger, reportedly unhappy with his role under Carlo Ancelotti, is said to be seriously considering a move away from the club. However, sources suggest he will first meet with incoming coach Xabi Alonso before making any final decision about his future.
The most interested suitor appears to be Arsenal, but according to Cadena SER, at least two other Premier League clubs are also actively monitoring his situation. The reported transfer fee? A surprisingly “reasonable” €80 million—considerably lower than the previously speculated figure of over €100 million.
Rodrygo’s Future Tied to Madrid’s Midfield Reinforcements
Real Madrid is keen on signing a world-class midfielder, and to fund such a move, they may need to offload a high-value asset. Rodrygo fits that profile. Despite his undeniable talent, his inconsistent performances have worn thin with both fans and club insiders. Though capable of brilliance, he often fades during long stretches of the season.
As Madrid looks to strengthen the squad, particularly after a disappointing domestic campaign, a high-profile sale could be necessary. Rodrygo now seems the likeliest candidate for such an exit.
A History of Doubts
This isn’t the first time Rodrygo’s future at the Bernabéu has been questioned. Ahead of last year’s Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund, the Brazilian made comments that hinted at uncertainty regarding his long-term stay at the club. Though he quickly backtracked and denied any intention of leaving, his remarks did not sit well with the club hierarchy.
His recent absence from several matches has only fueled speculation. While officially attributed to injury, some fans remain skeptical and believe he may already be preparing for a transfer.
Clarity Expected Soon
In the coming weeks, Rodrygo’s fate should become clearer—particularly after discussions with Xabi Alonso. If a sale does materialize, Real Madrid will have the funds to pursue top midfield targets such as Florian Wirtz or Enzo Fernández.
A move to the Premier League now looks increasingly likely, as Madrid prepares to reshape its squad for the next phase of European dominance. Whether Rodrygo will be part of that project remains uncertain—but the €80 million price tag has certainly caught attention.
