Rodrygo Goes's future is once again causing a stir around Real Madrid. At 24 years old, the Brazilian is going through a delicate moment. His prominence in the team has noticeably decreased. In the recent Club World Cup, his time on the bench was the clearest sign: today, he isn't untouchable for Ancelotti.
Although the club still believes in his potential, it also acknowledges that it doesn't consider him untransferable. If a good offer comes in, at least 80 million, they'll listen. They won't sell him for less than his value, but they also won't close the door completely.
Bayern moves in the shadows
The news has broken from Germany. Philipp Kessler, a journalist with reliable information about Bayern Munich, has revealed contact between the Bavarian club and Rodrygo's camp. The meeting was discreet, but real. Bayern has inquired, has shown interest, and has explored the player's situation.
For now, there's no agreement, not even firm negotiations. Both parties have been cautious. There's no rush, but there is mutual curiosity. Bayern is still looking for offensive reinforcements. Rodrygo is highly regarded by the board at Allianz Arena.
The market, a game of patience
The summer transfer market is long and can take many turns. Until August 31, any move is possible. At Real Madrid, they know this well. There are signings yet to be finalized, but also players who could leave if interesting offers arrive.
Rodrygo isn't comfortable. He has shown it in his gestures and body language. He isn't happy with his current role. Although he hasn't officially requested to leave, he's open to listening. He wants to feel important, get minutes, and be in shape for the 2026 World Cup.
Additionally, the arrival of new attacking signings could make things even more complicated for him. Direct competition threatens to push him even further down the pecking order. That's why his camp is already exploring options outside Madrid.
England also follows him closely
Bayern isn't alone. In the Premier League, there are also several clubs keeping a close eye on Rodrygo's situation. His youth, experience, and versatility in attack make him very attractive to English clubs.
For now, the most serious offer has come from Germany, but a move from England isn't ruled out if the Brazilian makes it clear that he wants to leave.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, keeps a firm stance: he'll only leave if the offer is good and the player requests it. There's no urgency, but there is a door left slightly open.
