The big problem Real Madrid faces in selling Rodrygo: an almost impossible mission

The revealing information about the problem Rodrygo faces to leave Real Madrid

As the weeks go by, Rodrygo Goes's fate at Real Madrid seems decided. The player is getting closer to leaving the club than to continuing as a player for the club. However, Ramón Álvarez de Mon, a contributor to Defensa Central's YouTube channel, has revealed the few options Rodrygo has to leave.

According to what we know at Defensa Central, Liverpool is one of the most interested teams. However, the imminent signing of Hugo Ekitike complicates the Brazilian's arrival. The only way the Brazilian could join the English club would be if Luis Díaz leaves for Bayern Munich.

In fact, the German club was, at one point, one of Rodrygo's options. Unfortunately for the Brazilian, Bayern prefers to complete the transfer of the Colombian winger. All these issues make it clear how complicated Rodrygo's departure from the club would be.

Fewer and fewer destinations for Rodrygo Goes

Coming from Santos in Brazil, Rodrygo has worked hard to establish himself at Real Madrid. Despite his immense talent, Rodrygo managed to fully develop it long after his arrival at the club in 2019. Playing as a right winger, Rodrygo became the perfect partner for Vinicius Júnior in attack.

However, his performance on the field has left much to be desired for some time now. Losing his effectiveness in front of the opposing goal, Rodrygo's numbers reflect this low level. Fewer than 25 goal contributions in more than 50 matches played is not positive.

Although the Premier League appeared to be his ideal destination, the interested clubs have preferred other reinforcements for the attack. Arsenal and Liverpool, with Madueke and soon Ekitike, have closed the door to the Brazilian winger.

A complicated market for Rodrygo

Chelsea and Manchester City remain among the few clubs interested in Rodrygo. Without having made any offers, at least for now, many doubts have arisen. If both clubs rule out Rodrygo, the player could end up spending another season at Real Madrid.
