Firm stance from Real Madrid, warning to Rodrygo about his transfer: 'You're not leaving...'

Rodrygo Goes has been one of the most questioned players at Real Madrid during the season. From being one of the club's great stars, the player now doesn't have his future secured. Given the interest caused by his departure, Real Madrid has notified: "You're not leaving at any price, it'll be for the amount we consider appropriate."

Aware of everything it has invested in Rodrygo, Real Madrid won't let him leave so easily. This is an understandable decision, especially considering the interest from several Premier League clubs. Managing exorbitant budgets, Rodrygo's departure to an English club could bring significant income to the Merengue coffers.

Rodrygo, who hoped to return to his best form under Xabi Alonso's leadership, has lost his confidence. Outperformed by players like Gonzalo García, who's the star of the Club World Cup, Real Madrid has made it clear that it's open to listening to offers.

The summer move

Having been part of Real Madrid since 2019, Rodrygo has only improved his performance over time. Increasing his goal-scoring records and importance at the club, this season was different. From the start, Rodrygo hasn't been as decisive a player as in past seasons when he solved complicated matches.

Eclipsed by Vinicius and Mbappé, now Rodrygo has also fallen behind Gonzalo García. The youth academy product, who's compared to Raúl González Blanco, has won Rodrygo's place in the squad. This event sealed Rodrygo's fate.

Even though no club has submitted an offer for Rodrygo, Real Madrid will only accept those it considers appropriate. With a few weeks left before the end of the World Cup, Real Madrid decided to make Rodrygo's situation clear once and for all.

The end of Rodrygo Goes

Being in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup, Real Madrid is getting closer to the grand final. If it wins the desired trophy, this would be an emotional way for the club to say goodbye to a player like Rodrygo Goes.
