Marca: Real Madrid has not received a offer for Rodrigo, and it will not be released easily without 100 million euros
According to Marca, Real Madrid has not received a specific offer for Rodrigo, and the club valued it at least 100 million euros.
It is August 12 today, and Rodrigo is still a member of Real Madrid. Manchester City's appeal is increasing, but there is no specific offer. So, before discussing what may happen in the future, let’s take a look at the current situation. So far, Rodrigo has made 267 appearances at Real Madrid, scoring 68 goals and contributing 46 assists.
There are two situations that remain unchanged: one is that Rodrigo hopes to succeed in the club (of course, the premise is to get enough playing time); the other is that Rodrigo's contract will not expire until 2028. Besides that, everything else is likely to change - Rodrigo may not continue to play for Real Madrid.
Until last night, Real Madrid had not received any specific offer. This is not because no team is interested in Rodrigo, but because Premier League teams (especially Manchester City) know clearly that if they want to sign the world-class player, they have to pay at least €100 million in transfer fees.
Rodrigo's salary is relatively high, but it is not the highest in Real Madrid. More importantly, while Rodrigo has never expressed his desire to leave Madrid, it does not mean he will not leave. The reason why the Premier League is mentioned is because it is the most popular place in Rodrigo and the place that is most likely to afford the transfer fee.
Recalling in 2024, when Real Madrid eliminated Manchester City through a penalty shootout in the Champions League quarterfinals, Guardiola personally called Rodrigo and explained his plans to him and his team. However, Rodrigo was highly valued at Real Madrid at that time, so there was no current debate.
At present, Manchester City looks like they are making room for Rodrigo and have or will be selling McCarty, Gallish (Everton) and Savigno. But first, they must be prepared to bring in Rodrigo at least 100 million euros (excluding wages).
As for Rodrigo's future, it is not easy to see whether the Premier League team will make a offer that satisfies everyone. Secondly, and the most critical point depends on how much playing time Xavi Alonso will give Rodrigo in September and October - as long as he stays in Real Madrid this summer window.
Xavi Alonso said that unless he received a €100 million offer, he would not easily give up a player who can play a role in many games, even if not a starter, especially this long season. But if Rodrigo did not play in today's friendly match, he didn't get a chance against Osasuna, and it was still the case in October, then things would change.
Rodrigo is patient, but he also knows that in order to play for Brazil in the 2026 World Cup, this season is crucial to him and he cannot miss the opportunity to participate in the World Cup at the age of 25.
