Rodrygo Goes will not continue at Real Madrid next season. The decision has been made: he's the weakest piece in the forward line and space needs to be made. Florentino Pérez has been waiting for a big transfer for the white team for some time. The intention is to obtain more than 100 million euros for the sale of the Brazilian next summer, a plan that Vinícius Júnior knows first-hand.
These first few months of the season have taught a lesson. Real Madrid needs a pure 9, as they don't have one in their squad. Rodrygo, Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior are considered "repeated" players, with the former being the weakest piece of all. He is listed as transferable and a big offer is expected from the Premier League, where his market is especially important.
Rodrygo Goes: Farewell to Real Madrid
With the decision made, Florentino Pérez wants to bring forward the transfer of his replacement in the Real Madrid squad as soon as possible. The president is looking for a pure number 9 in the market and has found one in Manchester. Erling Haaland is his chosen candidate to reinforce the Merengue team's offensive front.
Sky Sports say that Erling Haaland wants to leave Manchester next season and is only thinking of Real Madrid as his next destination. He's delighted at the possibility of being able to share an attacking trident with Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior on the wings. He considers them an unstoppable team and believes they can score a lot of goals.
The possibility of negotiating a swap deal is on the table. Manchester is interested in Rodrygo Goes and Haaland is only thinking about Real Madrid.
He has it all figured out. Erling Haaland has long known that he wouldn't last long at Manchester City. His contract includes a buyout clause worth 150 million euros, which Florentino is willing to pay if Rodrygo Goes ends up leaving.
Rodrygo Goes Thinks about It
Rodrygo remains in a lower salary position, which is starting to mark a clear difference between the two. Although Rodrygo remains important in Carlo Ancelotti's plans, Vinícius's economic jump reflects his growing importance.
The difference in the salaries of the two Brazilians could lead to comparisons, but so far, the atmosphere in the dressing room remains positive, with no signs of internal tensions.
Florentino Pérez is trying to maintain a balanced squad but Rodrygo Goes is starting to think things over. He doesn't want to continue in a place where he doesn't feel important, and the option of Erling Haaland is gaining momentum.
