Rodrygo warns Real Madrid: He has his future much clearer than it seems

The saga surrounding Rodrygo Goes is one of the most important matters that Real Madrid must manage during the 2025 transfer window. The top executives led by Florentino Pérez have made it clear that they won't stand in the way of a hypothetical departure of the Brazilian player, waiting for an offer to arrive.

Meanwhile, Rodrygo's camp may have started making contact with some of his most notable offers. Rumors in recent days point to Tottenham Hotspur as the most interested in acquiring his services. Despite those ongoing talks with the English board, revealed by "OKDiario," the Madrid "11" is clear about it: it's not his priority.

Now at Real Madrid, Rodrygo Goes doesn't want to leave Santiago Bernabéu locker room and lose chances to add individual and collective competitive achievements. That's why he may have distanced himself from the club presided over by Daniel Levy: the London team isn't a clear candidate to win the Champions League season after season.

The only club that could truly fit in that search for a highly competitive environment at the elite level of European soccer is Liverpool. The squad coached by Arne Slot is facing the departure of two attacking players, making the red team's forward roster appear slightly unbalanced.

He already knows what to do

The confirmed departure of Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich, as well as the search for a new team for Federico Chiesa, is an excellent argument to sign Rodrygo. The only major obstacle would be on the financial front, an aspect that brings a double concern for the Madrid executives. The first is the transfer fee demanded by the club's leadership.

Real Madrid has set its minimum limit at €100 million ($100 million), an amount that seems excessive for those interested in the Osasco striker's contract. The loss of value of Rodrygo Goes in the eyes of the top clubs in Europe, after his recent months with the Madrid team, is a very real decline.

The salary he could demand also generates quite a few reservations at clubs like Liverpool. After all, Rodrygo would want to keep his current earnings, set at €12.5 million ($12.5 million), if he leaves the Spanish capital. The Merseyside-based club is the only team that could make him close the door to Santiago Bernabéu locker room.

As long as no move is made from the upper echelons of Anfield Road, Rodrygo Goes will remain part of the Madrid first team. After all, the verdeamarelo player believes he has opportunities to change his current situation... even though he has lost his status as an undisputed starter, definitively, at the Club World Cup.
