Florentino lowers Rodrygo's price, unexpected leak and imminent transfer

Rodrygo Goes's future is still a topic of conversation: anything can happen

The transfer market is moving forward and there's less and less time left before it ends. Rodrygo Goes  is still up for sale and no club has brought an offer to Valdebebas that meets the demands of Real Madrid and the player himself.  It seemed that Premier League clubs were going to bet on him, but Liverpool and Arsenal have chosen other strikers.

Manchester City, meanwhile, hasn't even contacted him, unlike what happened some time ago. Now it seems that Tottenham is the one set to make a move for his services, but, of course, leaving Real Madrid for Spurs is taking several steps back. Florentino Pérez, who isn't impatient about this situation, is still waiting for offers.

The president is one of those who has bet the most on the former Santos player. He believes he can be one of the best in the world in his position, but, obviously, he has never been in favor of keeping players against their will.  If he wants to leave, he will end up leaving, as long as a club meets what is being asked at the Bernabéu.

In fact, there may be news about this. According to fichajes.net,Real Madrid is asking for about €75 million ($75 million) for him, which is less than 100 "kilos" (€100 million). After all, August 31 is getting closer and they have to adapt to the times.

They are not going to sell him cheap

Despite this, Defensa Central has revealed that the club's top executives keep emphasizing that they are not going to sell him cheap. In the Bernabéu offices, they believe prices are very inflated and they are not going to be any different. Therefore, it is expected that they will keep asking for a high amount to part ways with Rodrygo Goes.

The "11", like the rest of his teammates, is due to report to Valdebebas on August 4. That will be when preseason officially begins. The Merengue squad will have only two weeks to prepare for its league debut against CA Osasuna.
