The transfer market is preparing for a bomb that could ignite a new war between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. It all begins with the situation of Rodrygo Goes, who is not comfortable at the white club. The Brazilian, despite his quality and commitment, is not getting the minutes he desires and is starting to look toward other horizons.
Rodrygo, Increasingly Close to Leaving
Rodrygo has been important in key moments, but he doesn't feel like an undisputed starter. With names like Vinícius, Bellingham, Mbappé, or Endrick, the outlook is not encouraging for him.
He wants to play everything, to be a protagonist, and that, as of today, seems difficult at Madrid. That's why he is seriously considering leaving this summer.
There are already very strong offers. Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool are on the prowl. They all offer him minutes, prominence, and a solid project, and most importantly: they assure him of being a key piece.
At Bernabéu, they are not closing the door. If a convincing offer arrives, the club is willing to listen.
Real Madrid's Plan to Replace Him
But Real Madrid is not standing still. In case Rodrygo Goes leaves, they already have a plan on the table: to sign one of the young stars of Spanish soccer. A fast, skillful winger with goals and imbalance, a player who, coincidentally, has been an absolute priority for Barça in recent months.
This is where the story starts to heat up. Barça dreams of that signing to form a dream wing alongside Lamine Yamal, but the Catalan club's economic reality complicates the operation.
Madrid, stronger financially and more agile in the offices, wants to get ahead and make the move. A move that would hurt a lot—at Camp Nou.
A Figo-Style Betrayal?
The memory of Luis Figo returns strongly. That summer of 2000 was etched in the memory of the culé. Seeing their idol sign for the eternal rival was an open wound.
Now, the story could repeat itself. Stealing from Barça a desired, young, Spanish player with present and future. It wouldn't just be a signing; it would be a declaration of war.
Summer of Maximum Tension
If Rodrygo leaves, Madrid is clear about whom they want. They won't spare resources. What seemed like a simple market move could end in another historic chapter of rivalry between whites and blaugranas.
The ball isn't rolling yet, but the match has already started. This time, it's being played off the field.
