Real Madrid are prepared to move at least one first-team player before the summer transfer window closes at the start of September. Several names have been raised as potential departures, including Ferland Mendy, David Alaba and Dani Ceballos, but Rodrygo Goes is understood to be the player closest to the exit door.<\/p>\n
That assessment is informed in part by the Club World Cup, where the 24-year-old did not look set to feature prominently for Real Madrid next season. Within the squad hierarchy he would be behind Vinicius Junior, Arda Guler and Franco Mastantuono, which has encouraged club officials to permit a summer exit if the right opportunity arises.<\/p>\n
Should Rodrygo leave the Spanish capital, a move to the Premier League is viewed as the most likely destination. According to CaughtOffside, four clubs from England are currently in the race for his signature. Liverpool see him as an alternative option to Alexander Isak, their primary target, and are prepared to increase their interest if a deal for Isak with Newcastle United cannot be completed. Arsenal have also been identified as an option for Rodrygo, although they are not described as leading candidates.<\/p>\n
Tottenham Hotspur are among the suitors too, but have recently shifted focus towards Savinho, formerly of Girona. The report adds that if Tottenham secure Savinho, Manchester City could make contact with Real Madrid because of their long-standing interest in Rodrygo.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid will not sanction a sale at a knockdown price. The club are said to want between \u20ac90m and \u20ac100m to consider letting Rodrygo leave, with a fee closer to the top end of that range more likely to secure approval. For now, the player remains with Real Madrid while clubs in England weigh their options ahead of the close of the window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
