As several European giants, including Arsenal and Chelsea, are interested in Rodrygo, Real Madrid has set its conditions for a possible departure of the Brazilian striker.
According to information from COPE, relayed by Madrid Zone, the White House will not consider any offers below 100 million euros to let go of the 23-year-old player. A clear message to suitors, as the situation of the Brazilian at Santiago Bernabéu raises questions.
Not used during the heavy defeat against Paris Saint-Germain (0-4) in the semi-final of the Club World Cup, Rodrygo is increasingly upset with his status. A frustration amplified by the fact that Xabi Alonso, his coach, justified this sidelining as a purely technical decision.
The question of his future should be settled after the end of the world tournament. In case of departure, Rodrygo would prefer a transfer to Arsenal, attracted by the Gunners’ project. However, Real Madrid will only open the door on one condition: that the player himself requests to leave.
Meanwhile, the Madrid leaders remain firm: the price is set at 100 million euros, not a penny less.
