Real Madrid doesn't even hesitate: €80M for Rodrygo's potential replacement

Real Madrid still has to solve Rodrygo's future ahead of next season. Los Merengues know that the Brazilian is paying close attention to the market, looking for possible destinations. Although for now, he hasn't communicated his intention to leave, which is essential.

While the days keep passing, the club doesn't want to lose sight of its possible replacements. If the Brazilian ends up leaving, Los Blancos would go after a "9" to strengthen the attack. At least that's what José Félix Díaz said a few days ago.

It's true that with Gonzalo's emergence, it seems a bit complicated for that to happen. Xabi Alonso would have two center forwards in his squad with the academy player and Endrick. Even so, Los Merengues aren't losing sight of another option like Nick Woltemade.

His performances at Stuttgart have put him on the radar of more teams like Bayern. He also seems established in the German national team at 23 years old. That hasn't gone unnoticed by Real Madrid either, which is closely following his possible signing.

A price that doesn't quite convince Real Madrid

Stuttgart is aware that it has a forward in its squad ready to make the jump to a bigger club. He himself reportedly told them, asking them to find him a way out. They accept that, although they're not going to let him leave at any price, and that could be the key.

The Germans want to get around €80 million (about 88 million USD), something that Real Madrid doesn't intend to pay. They consider it too high and, although they like him as an option, it won't be for that price. That's what sources from Valdebebas have assured Defensa Central.

Everything will depend on the decision Rodrygo makes, whether he finally stays or decides to leave. It will also depend on whether Xabi Alonso thinks they need a forward or prefers to strengthen another position. The only clear thing is that they're not going to pay €80 million (about 88 million USD) for Nick Woltemade.
