The situation of Rodrygo at Real Madrid has taken an unexpected turn. The Brazilian striker, who in previous seasons was key in Carlo Ancelotti's scheme, has experienced a notable decline in his performance. With only one goal in his last 21 matches, he has lost prominence in favor of players like Arda Güler, Vinícius Júnior, and Kylian Mbappé.
Rodrygo, a condition to leave Madrid
In this scenario, Florentino Pérez, the club's president, has set a clear condition for Rodrygo's possible departure: the Brazilian must request his transfer. Real Madrid will not force his exit, but if Rodrygo Goes expresses his desire to leave the club, offers exceeding 100 million euros will be considered.
Interest in the Brazilian has not diminished in the market. Premier League teams, like Manchester United and Chelsea, have shown willingness to present offers that could reach or even exceed the figure set by Real Madrid.
This situation places Rodrygo in a position of control over his future, as his contract with the white club extends until 2028.
The final decision rests with Rodrygo. If he chooses to continue at Santiago Bernabéu, he will have to compete for a place in an increasingly competitive squad. On the other hand, if he decides to seek new horizons, Real Madrid is willing to facilitate his departure under the mentioned conditions.
Florentino has a plan if Rodrygo leaves
In the event that Rodrygo's departure from Real Madrid happens, Florentino is clear about his plan. If the Brazilian leaves, his replacement would come from Spain. The chosen one is none other than Nico Williams, winger of Athletic Club. He has a very affordable 58 million euro clause and would be delighted to play at Santiago Bernabéu.
Natural from the attacking wing, Nico would offer highly demanded conditions in this Real Madrid. Dribbling, quality, and combination with his teammates. He is a profile that currently doesn't exist, and his signing would be paid with the proceeds from the sale of Rodrygo Goes.
In any case, at the moment it doesn't seem easy for it to happen. With Rodrygo, every summer the same thing happens, and he always ends up staying.
