European soccer is constantly in motion, and speculation on transfers never ceases. Within this context, FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has taken a step forward by setting his sights on a player currently at Real Madrid.

The Current Situation of Real Madrid
Real Madrid is in a phase of renewal. With an eye on the future, the white club has identified Florian Wirtz, an exceptional talent from Bayer Leverkusen, as their next transfer target.
However, to carry out this operation, Madrid will have to make room in the squad. This means that some stars will have to be sold. One of the most viable options is Rodrigo Goes, who's stood out for his speed and finishin ability.
Rodrigo Goes: the Uncertain Future
Rodrigo has proven to be a key player for Real Madrid. Despite his young age, he's had a significant impact on the team, scoring important goals and assisting his teammates.
However, his situation has become uncertain. There are several clubs willing to pay a considerable amounts for his transfer. This has put the striker in under the spotlight in the transfer market.
His ability to turn games around makes him a very attractive player. Rodrigo has the ability to play in several offensive positions, which gives him versatility.

Deco and His Interest in Rodrigo
On the other hand, FC Barcelona has set their sights on Rodrigo Goes. Deco, the new sporting director, has expressed his interest in the Brazilian player, seeing him as a key reinforcement for the Catalonian team.
His addition could revitalize Barça's attacking line, which seems to be renewed and more competitive. Deco envisions a dynamic and versatile offense, and Rodrigo fits this profile perfectly, thanks to his speed and ability to create scoring opportunities.
His young age also makes him a long-term investment. If his transfer goes through, it would be a huge blow by Barça, especially by taking it away from its eternal rival.
A Battle of Giants
Rodrigo's possible departure from Madrid to Barcelona adds a new chapter to their historic rivalry. Madrid fans would reject his departure, while Barça fans would celebrate his arrival.
Both clubs are at a crossroads. Real Madrid must decide whether to prioritize signing Wirtz or keeping Rodrigo. Meanwhile, FC Barcelona sees an opportunity in this situation.
