Didac Aguirre Not Liverpool or Bayern: the club Rodrygo is negotiating with to become its next big star
The unexpected Premier League club that has started negotiations with Rodrygo Goes
During recent weeks, one of the biggest mysteries of the transfer market has been Rodrygo Goes's destination. Liverpool and Bayern Munich have emerged as his most likely destinations. However, according to what we know at Defensa Central, Tottenham Hotspur is the club that has started talks with the Brazilian winger.
The interest from the "Spurs" is surprising because they haven't shown any indication in the past. Even so, this move is logical given the ambitions Tottenham has for next season. After winning the Europa League, the club is looking for experienced players to perform well in the Champions League.
Rodrygo, who is 24 years old, is the perfect player for Tottenham to achieve its goal. The Brazilian has already won 2 Champions League titles as a Real Madrid player. Although Rodrygo has achieved great things at the club, he is open to leaving Real Madrid.
The unexpected option for Rodrygo
Although the Premier League has always shown interest in Rodrygo, Tottenham was never one of the clubs keeping an eye on him. Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool were the teams interested in the Brazilian's services. The latter, above all, has been the club most linked to Rodrygo's signing given its impressive transfer market.
Even so, Tottenham's talks indicate that the club has already taken the first step. Rodrygo, who has played for Real Madrid since 2019, is close to leaving the club. This move is not surprising at all after his limited participation in the Club World Cup.
Having played only 92 minutes, Xabi's lack of trust in Rodrygo was evident. Looking ahead to next season, the Brazilian's situation doesn't seem likely to change. Because of this, Tottenham has emerged as an interesting option for him.
An exit that is getting closer
With a market value of €90 million according to Transfermarkt, Real Madrid will not accept less than that for Rodrygo's departure. Although the winger has been important for the club, his future as a Madridist has led him to consider leaving.
