Real Madrid hasn't finished its squad planning for next season yet and has highlighted a specific name: Rodrygo Goes. Xabi Alonso doesn't count on him and the latest developments have left him without a place in the first team. He has lost his starting position due to his own fault and the club is trying to speed up his departure immediately, although it's not proving easy.
Rodrygo has been linked to numerous clubs. From Saudi Arabia to Tottenham, including Arsenal and Liverpool, where they've shown more serious interest. However, none of them have truly made a move to try to sign him. At all times, Madrid has been clear: for him to leave, they must come with an offer close to €100 million. This is making everything more complicated, although his future could take a U-turn.
Surprising destination for Rodrygo Goes
While all eyes were on Anfield, a new club has set its sights on Rodrygo Goes. We're talking about Paris-Saint Germain, which hasn't had its final say in the market and has the money ready to make a major signing.
Luis Enrique is an outspoken admirer of Rodrygo Goes and would love to have him in the French capital. He believes that, as he did with Dembélé, he can bring him back into the fold and get the best out of him.
However, what complicates everything is the poor relationship between Real Madrid and PSG. Since the latest events with Mbappé, both boards have had a nonexistent relationship and when it comes to negotiations, this could be a negative factor. Florentino is still asking for €100 million for the Brazilian, while Paris would offer a significantly lower amount.
Everything depends on Bradley Barcola
Despite all this, the reality is that the deal depends on one person in particular: Bradley Barcola. The Frenchman has lost importance at Paris-Saint Germain since Kvaratskhelia's arrival in January and would be open to leaving. That's where Liverpool comes in, looking for a top-level winger with experience to strengthen its attacking line.
Only if Barcola ends up leaving would PSG activate the signing of Rodrygo Goes, who isn't at all sure where he'll play next season. He has had many offers, to which Paris-Saint Germain has now been added. However, even though he doesn't have Xabi Alonso's trust, he doesn't rule out staying at Real Madrid, where he has a contract until 2028.
