Brazilian winger Rodrygo Goes could be heading for a dramatic exit from Real Madrid this summer as top Premier League clubs intensify their pursuit of the 24-year-old. With competition in Madrid’s attacking lineup growing fiercer following the arrival of Kylian Mbappé and the continued rise of Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo’s future in Spain looks increasingly uncertain.
Despite being under contract until 2028, Rodrygo has found himself slipping down the pecking order at the Bernabeu. His limited role in the recent Club World Cup playing just 27 minutes has only fueled speculation about his departure. While he has shown flashes of brilliance throughout his Madrid career, inconsistent game time has stalled his development.
Premier League giants Liverpool appear to be leading the race for Rodrygo’s signature, especially if Luis Diaz departs this summer. The Merseyside club have monitored the Brazilian’s situation closely and are reportedly prepared to begin negotiations should the right opportunity present itself. Real Madrid are open to discussions and are believed to be waiting for formal contact from interested parties. With a valuation around £78 million (€90 million), the Spanish giants could still be swayed by a favorable offer.
Arsenal, previously interested, seem to have cooled their pursuit, potentially leaving Liverpool in a strong negotiating position. However, Tottenham Hotspur have now emerged as a serious contender. Newly appointed manager Thomas Frank is said to admire Rodrygo’s versatility, with the forward capable of playing across the attacking line. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly exploring options to lower Madrid’s asking price, aiming to secure a deal that aligns with their financial plans.
While Paris Saint-Germain were also rumored to be in the mix earlier, their interest appears to have faded. Chelsea, once linked to the Brazilian, have shifted their focus elsewhere, clearing the path for the Premier League’s North London rivals to battle it out.
Since joining Real Madrid from Santos in 2019 for €45 million, Rodrygo has shown immense potential. Last season, he registered six goals and five assists in La Liga. A move to the Premier League could offer him the regular playing time he craves and a platform to become a star in his own right.
With several clubs poised to make a move, the coming weeks could determine where Rodrygo writes the next chapter of his career.
