Rodrygo to Arsenal: The transfer will break a record that seemed unattainable

Real Madrid has several issues to solve during the next summer transfer window. In addition to properly managing all the pending additions to Santiago Bernabéu locker room, there are some players who might leave from the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez.

The most striking case, without a doubt, is led by Rodrygo Goes. The "11" verdeamarelo has had an end of the season as complicated as the rest of the current soccer season: everything started with his discreet performance in the Copa del Rey final. Substituted at halftime, it became evident that he is not very comfortable in the current Real Madrid, but only Carlo Ancelotti's departure could prevent an exit that would be record-breaking.

From the Valdebebas offices, they are clear that Rodrygo Goes, at least for now, is not for sale. If the footballer decides to leave the merengue team, they will listen to offers for him, but it will not be an easy transfer to pay for any interested team. One of the clubs that has already expressed interest in acquiring his services is Mikel Arteta's Arsenal.

Not in vain, the coach of the gunner sports discipline has made it clear that he is one of his favorite players in the European soccer elite. That information revealed by "The Athletic" places Arsenal as one of the candidates to sign Rodrygo Goes, but Real Madrid will show strong resistance from the economic standpoint.

They will not lower the price

The plan in the Valdebebas offices, in case Rodrygo decides to leave the club this summer, is to set his exit price at 100 million euros. That would mean that Real Madrid would ask for more money than they paid for players like Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale, who to date are the team's most expensive transfers.

Thus, a record that seemed unbreakable would be broken. At least internally at Real Madrid, since the inflation of market prices has clearly affected the prices of many footballers. The European soccer elite market continues to raise its economic requirements, an idea that generates quite a few long faces in the white leadership.

From the noble area of Santiago Bernabéu, they understand that one of Real Madrid's pillars, as well as a solid strategy for the transfer market, is to keep a healthy economy. That goal is increasingly difficult to achieve given constantly rising prices and release clauses that do not fit their expectations. The same would happen in the case of Rodrygo Goes.

That's why Real Madrid would have decided to set his hypothetical exit price at 100 million euros. The merengue leaders are not willing to let this key player for the sports project leave for less money than indicated, thus establishing the possibility of breaking this record.
