Reports from Sport suggest that Real Madrid is considering the possibility of offloading winger Rodrygo as they look to enhance their attacking options.
Despite being a Brazil international, Rodrygo has only managed to contribute one goal and one assist in 11 games this season, which has left his future at Real Madrid uncertain.
While there is no question about the 22-year-old’s abilities, the La Liga club is eager to further bolster their forward line, potentially putting Rodrygo’s place at the Santiago Bernabéu in jeopardy.
Additionally, Real Madrid has not responded positively to Rodrygo’s recent comments expressing his dissatisfaction with being deployed as a striker.
He reportedly said from national team camp this week: “I’ve always made it clear that I have a knack for playing on the wings; I simply don’t like playing as a No. 9, although at my club I have to do it. Here in the national team, I have the freedom to move all over the field, which has helped my game.”
In July 2024, Real Madrid is poised to secure the services of the promising Brazilian talent, Endrick, for a substantial €72 million.
This acquisition is set to bolster Real Madrid’s attacking options under the management of Carlo Ancelotti.
Additionally, the club remains keen on finalising a transfer for Kylian Mbappé, the Paris Saint-Germain forward, whose contract with the French champions expires at the end of the season.
Despite reports indicating PSG’s interest in extending Mbappé’s contract, progress on this front has been limited.
Furthermore, the report suggests that Real Madrid is still keeping an eye on striker Erling Haaland, even as Manchester City actively works on securing him a new, extended contract.
Real Madrid may consider parting ways with Rodrygo, a move that could potentially yield a significant transfer fee.
This prospect represents an appealing option for the club, which may be in a position to offload the winger in the near future.
