No one expected the offer that has arrived at Santiago Bernabéu offices. It seems that Saudi Arabia has definitely forgotten about Vinícius Júnior and has set its sights on its next target. In fact, he is a good friend of the Brazilian, as they have now focused on his compatriot Rodrygo Goes. At 24 years old, now both of the most important teams in Saudi Arabia want him: Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, competing with each other to sign him.
"Fichajes.net" has discovered that both Saudi clubs are very interested in signing Rodrygo. To the point that on Real Madrid's table there's already a first offer reaching €130 million. They're willing to compete with each other to secure the Brazilian forward, who isn't going through his most secure moment at the Bernabéu.
In recent years, Rodrygo Goes has been an important piece in Ancelotti's plans, but this could change with Xabi Alonso. He's by no means untouchable for the Basque coach and Real Madrid, if he gives the green light, could take advantage to do business. Money won't be an issue, and Saudi Arabia has gone all out to sign him for €130 million. It's truly madness.
Rodrygo Goes, under scrutiny
Rodrygo Goes is going through a difficult time at Real Madrid. The Brazilian forward has lost importance in the team and is no longer an undisputed starter. The arrival of Xabi Alonso to the white bench has meant a change in priorities, and the coach doesn't seem to fully trust the Brazilian international... At least for now.
In Real Madrid's new rotation, Rodrygo has fallen behind names like Arda Güler and Brahim Díaz, two young players who've made the most of their opportunities. But the most direct threat to his future at the club is Franco Mastantuono. The young Argentine, a star signing and Xabi's personal bet, will burst onto the scene with strength and seems to have a leading role assured in this new project.
Although Rodrygo Goes has a contract with the white team, his situation has set off the alarm. The club doesn't rule out a possible sale, especially with this offer from Saudi Arabia having arrived. Meanwhile, the footballer wants minutes and prominence, something that currently seems difficult to achieve at Santiago Bernabéu.
Rodrygo's future is hanging in the air. The Brazilian is no longer untouchable at Real Madrid and his friend Vinícius Júnior could be left alone...
