Didac Aguirre Not $100M, not $90M: the amount Real Madrid will accept for Rodrygo Goes
Rodrygo Goes's release value for this summer has already been set by Real Madrid
Rodrygo Goes's situation at Real Madrid has changed drastically in recent weeks. His departure has gone from being just a rumor to a reality for this summer transfer window. Real Madrid, despite its interest in obtaining €95 million for Rodrygo's departure, wouldn't have a problem if the final value is €85 million.
Setting a price for the Brazilian winger is a clear statement ahead of next season. Although Xabi Alonso made clear Rodrygo's importance after his presentation as coach, this message has changed. With an important conversation between Xabi and Rodrygo still pending, everything indicates that the player will stop being part of Real Madrid.
Despite the lack of offers, Arsenal has remained the club most interested in signing the Brazilian. It's expected that after the end of the Club World Cup, Real Madrid will start working on Rodrygo's destination for next season.
An almost official departure
From being an important player for Real Madrid to being close to leaving, Rodrygo's situation is concerning. The Brazilian right winger went from posting significant numbers each season to reducing his number of goal contributions. Last season, Rodrygo managed only 11 goals, slightly improving this campaign with 14 goals.
68 goals and 51 assists in 269 matches with Real Madrid are inappropriate numbers for a Real Madrid striker. While Xabi trusted Rodrygo at the start of the Club World Cup, putting the player in the starting eleven, this changed for the following matches.
Playing only 20 more minutes throughout the entire Club World Cup, Rodrygo's departure from Real Madrid is becoming increasingly evident. Surpassed even by academy player Gonzalo García, all that's left is to wait for an important offer for Rodrygo this summer.
Rodrygo's only alternatives
Although his departure is practically a reality, Rodrygo has one more alternative. If he gets the chance to play some minutes, Rodrygo could prove his worth again. Given his situation, this is his only option.
