As the summer transfer window rumbles on, one of the names that continues to stir speculation is Rodrygo Goes. The Real Madrid forward, once seen as a cornerstone for the club’s future, finds himself at a crossroads—both on and off the pitch.
A Dip in Form and Growing Uncertainty
Rodrygo joined Real Madrid in 2018 for a reported €45 million, and over the years, his value soared to nearly €80 million. But lately, things have taken a turn.
Under Xabi Alonso, the 24-year-old has found minutes hard to come by. With Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jr, and emerging talent Gonzalo taking center stage, Rodrygo has been pushed down the pecking order. In the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup, his involvement has been minimal—unused in matches against Pachuca and Juventus, and just 20 minutes against Salzburg.
This lack of game time has only intensified rumors of a possible exit this summer.
PSG? Arsenal? Madrid Say No Offers Have Arrived
While speculation links him with Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, Real Madrid sources have confirmed there are no official offers on the table. The club’s stance is straightforward: they will not block an exit if a good offer comes in—but so far, nothing has matched their €100 million valuation.
President Florentino Pérez remains firm on the asking price, and with no club willing to meet it, Rodrygo’s future appears to be firmly in Madrid—for now.
Rodrygo Responds: Focused and Firm
Amid swirling rumors and uncertainty, Rodrygo broke his silence with a clear message via his X (formerly Twitter) account:
“We’re in the World Cup semifinals. Two left for our goal 🙏🏾 HALA MADRID”
This statement puts an end to speculation—at least for the moment. Rodrygo is focused on helping Madrid pursue glory at the Club World Cup and shows no signs of looking elsewhere.
What Comes Next for Rodrygo?
The path ahead is still wide open. Madrid is not rushing to make any decisions, and the coaching staff remains hopeful that Rodrygo can rediscover his best form and become a vital part of Xabi Alonso’s system.
If no suitable offer comes in—and if Rodrygo can regain momentum—his future at the Santiago Bernabéu may yet be salvaged.
But if the struggles continue and the opportunities remain scarce, this summer could be pivotal in reshaping his career.
