There's a little more than 1 week left before the transfer window closes, and at Real Madrid, there are still unsolved matters. The case of Rodrygo Goes stands out above all, as he's been rumored to leave all summer. There have been approaches from foreign clubs, but none have really made a move for him. In any case, Florentino is very clear about it: he has a price, and he'll only leave if it's paid, something that has been released by the media outlet led by Eduardo Inda.
Rodrygo's price
Miguel Serrano, journalist from "OKDiario", has been blunt, stating: "The message from Bernabéu is clear: the Brazilian won't leave for less than €80 million (about $86.8 million)". He went on to say that it's "a figure that might seem high... but in the Premier League, this has been surpassed this very summer for several signings like Wirtz (135) (about $146.4 million) or Ekitiké (95) (about $103 million), both bought by Liverpool".
Additionally, the journalist has also named the main interested parties. "There are only three offers among all the clubs linked to Rodrygo who've contacted Madrid in recent weeks... some openly and others through intermediaries: Bayern, Manchester City, and Tottenham", he concluded.
No gifts will be given
Rodrygo Goes, just 24 years old, is one of the most sought-after players in the squad, and several teams have explored the possibility of signing him this very summer. However, at Bernabéu, they're very clear: there will be no gifts with Rodrygo.
The Madrid board has set a minimum price of €80 million (about $86.8 million) to start negotiations, as revealed by Eduardo Inda's media outlet. This is a strong message to interested parties that reflects the value of the forward, both in sporting and economic terms. A low-cost departure isn't being considered, and any deal must bring a significant sum to the club's coffers.
Rodrygo Goes has shown on numerous occasions his ability to step up in decisive moments, whether in the Champions League or in key LaLiga matches. His versatility in attack, being able to play on both wings and even as a second striker, makes him a resource that can be valuable for Xabi.
Real Madrid still trust him and aren't in any rush to part ways with a footballer who still has room to grow. The interested teams know it: if they want to sign Rodrygo Goes, they'll have to dig deep into their pockets. Florentino has no intention of repeating past mistakes, and the club's stance is firm: for less than €80 million (about $86.8 million), the forward will keep wearing white.
