Real Madrid remains firm in its position as a buying club, not a selling club. However, it's awaiting developments in view of the offer it may receive for one of its players.
Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. are untouchable in Carlo Ancelotti's forward line but Rodrygo doesn't reach that level in the Real Madrid squad's ranking.
In fact, Rodrygo's presence blocks the roles of Endrick and Arda Güler. They have no way out in the starting eleven of the white team, which is made up of a constellation of stars.
Real Madrid is delighted with Rodrygo. However, they will not put obstacles in the way of his departure from Bernabéu if he wants to go and the offer is interesting.
City Offers 170 Million for Rodrygo
The offer, according to the English press, is very interesting. Manchester City is willing to pay 170 million for the Brazilian striker.
Real Madrid would be willing to negotiate for such an amount as long as Rodrygo asks for it. That is the essential condition for the operation to go ahead.
The club knows that Rodrygo is not satisfied with his role at Real Madrid. He believes that his performance deserves greater recognition. The shadows of Mbappé and Bellingham completely eclipse him.
In fact, he blames Real Madrid for his absence in the list of 30 finalists for the Ballon d'Or. He believes that the club campaigned for Vinícius, Bellingham and Carvajal and forgot about him.
Real Madrid is the best Rodrygo can aspire to. But if he wants a bigger role and to try his luck at another European giant, the white club will not put up any obstacles.
Florentino: Keeping an Eye on Manchester City
City is going through a turbulent period due to the 115 legal cases they have pending for breaching financial fair play. Florentino Pérez is waiting for the sentence of the case, in case Erling Haaland could end up wearing a white jersey.
Not only that but also to confirm the offer for Rodrygo, a player that Pep Guardiola likes a lot. The operation is on hold because everything indicates that Pep won't wait for the case to be solved and will leave before then.
However, City's interest in Rodrygo will continue even without the Catalonian coach in the dugout.
Real Madrid is clear that, if Rodrygo wants to leave and City pays 170 million, they'll hand him in on a silver platter to Manchester.
