Real Madrid Want €100M for Rodrygo as He Considers Leaving for Arsenal
Real Madrid have placed a hefty €100 million price tag on Rodrygo as interest grows from top clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea. According to reports from COPE via Madrid Zone, the Spanish giants won’t entertain any bids below that amount.
The Brazilian forward is expected to make a decision about his future after the FIFA Club World Cup final this Sunday. Rodrygo, who was left out of the squad in Madrid’s 4-0 loss to PSG in the semi-final, is reportedly unhappy with his current role under manager Xabi Alonso.
The coach said after the game that not playing Rodrygo was purely a tactical choice. Despite several clubs circling, sources close to the player suggest that if he does leave, Arsenal is his preferred destination. However, Madrid will only consider a sale if Rodrygo himself pushes for an exit.
