Asking Price for Rodrygo: The Amount Madrid Would Demand for His Sale to City

Real Madrid and Manchester City faced off this past Tuesday at the Etihad in the Champions League. It was the first leg of the play-offs, and everything will be decided in the return match at Santiago Bernabéu. However, it was the Merengues who struck the first blow with a 2-3 victory.

But not everything is bad news for Guardiola, who wanted to take advantage of Real Madrid's visit. That's why, with Florentino in the stands, they wanted to gauge the situation with Rodrygo for a possible transfer. They also engaged with the player's entourage to explore the potential selling price.

According to some sources, although his clause is anti-sheikh and rises to 1 billion, it could be less. They suggest that starting from 150 million euros, they would be willing to sit down and negotiate. An amount that City sees as very feasible to reach next summer.

As we say, they took advantage of the Champions League match to get firsthand the opinion of Madrid. Especially the price they would set if they wanted to part with him. Therefore, the Citizens already know where they will have to move to achieve it.

Real Madrid Doesn't Want to Sell Rodrygo Although They Leave the Door Open

Last summer, Rodrygo's future was the most talked about at Real Madrid. Especially because of some words of his that many interpreted as a nod to Manchester City. They thought he was trying to leave due to Kylian Mbappé's arrival.

But the truth is that his departure didn't happen, and he himself had to publicly dismiss it. Leaving isn't on his mind, and he wants to stay at Real Madrid despite the rumors. However, if he stops getting minutes, he might start to change his mind.

At Bernabéu, they are clear that Rodrygo is not for sale and only if he requests it will they let him leave. They won't hold him back, although a great offer will have to come for them to accept. Starting from 150 million euros, a figure that Manchester City already knows.
