On Thursday, La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid made an official announcement regarding the extension of Brazilian forward Rodrygo’s contract, now set to run until June 2028.
The 22-year-old Rodrygo originally joined Madrid in 2019, transitioning from the Brazilian club Santos. Since his arrival, he has made a significant impact, netting 39 goals in a total of 179 appearances for the club.
Over the course of his five seasons at Real Madrid, Rodrygo has enjoyed considerable success, clinching eight trophies, including two La Liga titles and one Champions League triumph.
“Real Madrid C. F. and Rodrygo have agreed a contract extension for the player, who will remain at the club until June 30, 2028,” a club statement said.
“Rodrygo has been instrumental in many of the trophies Real Madrid have lifted in recent seasons.”
Rodrygo, whose existing contract was set to conclude in June 2025, made headlines by netting both goals in Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory against Osasuna in the 2023 Copa del Rey final, earning him the title of Most Valuable Player (MVP) for the match.
The Brazilian international has tallied two goals in 14 appearances across all competitions for Real Madrid in the current season.
Remarkably, Rodrygo is the second player from the Madrid squad to secure a contract extension this week. Earlier, on Tuesday, the club had officially revealed that Vinícius Júnior had committed to a new contract that extends through June 2027.
