The 24-year-old&#8217;s reduced minutes in recent crucial matches have sparked transfer speculation for the summer window.<\/p>\n<p>Rodrygo, who has drawn interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool, is now reportedly on Tottenham&#8217;s radar. The North London club aims to strengthen its youthful squad further following the signings of Mohammed Kudus and permanent acquisitions of Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso. According to a report by AS, Spurs&#8217; chairman Daniel Levy hopes to negotiate a reduction in Real Madrid&#8217;s asking price from \u20ac100 million to \u20ac90 million.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these reports, Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg has cast doubt on the veracity of Tottenham&#8217;s links to Rodrygo, calling them \u201cwide of the mark.\u201d Other European giants such as Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich have also shown interest in the player.<\/p>\n<p>Rodrygo&#8217;s recent form has been underwhelming; he has not scored in his last 25 appearances for Real Madrid across all competitions. The Brazilian recorded just 14 goals and 10 assists in 54 games last season, a statistically modest return for a player previously regarded as a key contributor to the team&#8217;s successes.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Tottenham is building momentum after securing the 2025 Europa League title under new manager Thomas Frank. Despite a disappointing 17th place finish in the Premier League last season, Spurs will compete in the 2025\u201326 Champions League. The club recognizes the need for further reinforcements this summer to contend on Europe\u2019s premier stage.<\/p>\n<p>Rodrygo&#8217;s next destination remains uncertain, but Tottenham&#8217;s reported interest indicates their ambition to challenge established Premier League powers by recruiting proven talent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham emerges as a contender for Real Madrid&#8217;s Rodrygo amid limited playtime and transfer talks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":517,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[187],"tags":[59,210,182],"class_list":["post-518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tottenham-hotspur","tag-featured","tag-rodrygo","tag-transfers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=518"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":519,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518\/revisions\/519"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
