Real Madrid’s potential sale of Brazilian winger Rodrygo has put several Premier League teams on high alert. With the imminent arrival of Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid is looking to bolster its attacking options this summer. However, this has left its squad bloated, and to address this, it is reportedly open to cashing in on Rodrygo for a fee of around €100 million (£86 million).
While Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal, have shown interest, Real Madrid has not yet entertained any offers. Rodrygo’s future with the Spanish side appears uncertain, as he has been linked with an exit in the past. However, he previously expressed happiness at playing for Real Madrid, stating his sole focus was on the club.
Rodrygo’s contract with Real Madrid has over four years remaining. Despite criticism for his perceived lack of goal threat, he has contributed 13 goals in all competitions this season. Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti defended him, emphasizing the importance of his overall contribution to the team.
While the decision regarding Rodrygo’s future is pending, Real Madrid has not officially announced Mbappe’s arrival. Mbappe himself remained tight-lipped about his future, stating that he had nothing to announce yet but expected things to be sorted out before the Euros. PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino did not provide any clarity on the matter, stating that only Mbappe knew the truth about the decisions involved.
