Rodrygo, key to Real Madrid's most desired signing: transfer plus money

One of the footballers most criticized for the debated performance Real Madrid has shown during the current soccer season is Rodrygo Goes. Although Carlo Ancelotti has offered him multiple opportunities to redeem himself with his continued starting position, the "11" verdeamarelo has not achieved that goal. That's why his situation in Santiago Bernabéu locker room is currently really weak.

Especially considering the winds of change that have been blowing for some time in the Madrid environment. The arrival of Xabi Alonso as the new coach brings multiple changes that could affect the undisputed position the Osasco striker had until now. His departure during the next summer transfer window is beginning to take shape.

Especially if Real Madrid, as many media outlets have pointed out in recent hours, desires to complete the signing of a top-tier player. That acquisition would have a spending floor of about 100 million euros, the same amount that Rodrygo Goes could bring to Santiago Bernabéu's coffers if he leaves the team.

The club executives have not yet made a decision about his future, but they would be willing to listen to offers for the South American winger. Xabi Alonso's suggestions for midfield signings, in search of a footballer to restore the first team's creative capabilities, demands a three-figure investment. Rodrygo would be key in every sense.

Complementary moves

One of the names that has resurfaced in the orbit of the white team according to multiple reports from Argentina is Enzo Fernández. Journalist Gustavo Méndez, from that country's Public Television, pointed out that Enzo Fernández's partner had started looking for a house in Madrid. That would have been the indicator to associate the footballer, now at Chelsea, with a possible future in the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez.

After that revelation in the southern country, the information from Goal Brasil further clarifies the roadmap to follow in the "Enzo Fernández case" by the white club. This media outlet indicates that Real Madrid "is interested" in the "8" blue, but his transfer is too high. At the same time, "Chelsea plans to make an offer for Rodrygo" to improve their attacking options for the next season.

The verdeamarelo reporters, therefore, understand that this mutual interest between both teams "leads to thinking about a possible exchange for the next season". Thus, Real Madrid and Chelsea would exchange Rodrygo Goes for Enzo Fernández in a transfer that currently seems practically impossible to carry out.

The needs of both clubs, however, could be the catalyst for an operation that would facilitate the reconstruction of both squads. Xabi Alonso would receive the creative midfielder he so desperately needs to replace Toni Kroos... while Enzo Maresca would finally get the starting striker he has requested from Todd Boehly for months.
