TENSION AT REAL MADRID: RODRYGO WANTS OUT, PEREZ NOT BACKING DOWN
There seems to be growing tension at Real Madrid between club president Florentino Pérez and Brazilian forward Rodrygo Goes.
According to reports from The TouchlineX (via Joaquim Piera), Rodrygo is unhappy at the club and is considering a move away this summer. The 23-year-old reportedly feels undervalued under new manager Xabi Alonso and is frustrated at becoming a secondary figure in the squad.
Despite his desire to leave, a transfer may not be straightforward. Rodrygo currently has no official agent representing him—his father acts as his representative but lacks experience in handling high-profile transfers. As a result, several intermediaries are now involved, trying to secure a deal for him with Premier League clubs.
Clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea have already shown interest in signing the Brazilian star. However, Real Madrid have made it clear they won’t let him go for cheap. The club has set his price tag at a staggering €100 million and will reject any offer below that.
Rodrygo is expected to make a final decision on his future before the new season kicks off. For now, it’s a waiting game—both for him and for clubs hoping to snap him up.
Could this be the beginning of a high-profile summer transfer, or will Real Madrid and Rodrygo settle their differences? Time will tell.
