Simeone plans the coup of the century on Real Madrid, Rodrygo may end up at Atlético.

One of the sagas that Real Madrid would be obliged to face during the summer 2025 transfer window features Rodrygo Goes as the protagonist. The "11" verdeamarelo has been one of the main targets due to his poor performance this season, as well as recent events. His absence from the first team in this final stretch of the league campaign is drawing significant attention.

Real Madrid would have a complicated process ahead in which the continuity of the South American footballer would be defined. Not only because of the hypothetical fit he might have in Xabi Alonso's tactical plans, but also because of the offers that would have been received at Valdebebas from several important teams. Arsenal is one of the most notable in recent hours, but not the only one.

This would have been revealed by Alfredo Duro on "El Chiringuito de Jugones". The journalist and panelist points out that, "taking advantage of the last knockout round, someone from Arsenal did propose to Real Madrid" what their plans were for the future of Rodrygo Goes. Despite those contacts, Alfredo Duro makes it clear that none of the current offers would have contacted Real Madrid under any circumstances to attempt the signing.

They only have the feeling that "Rodrygo is willing to leave Real Madrid". The journalist from "El Chiringuito de Jugones" points out that Rodrygo Goes would fit "in all offensive plans", being a player that "everyone loves, from the first to the last".

unexpected team change

Alfredo Duro points out that Atlético de Madrid would be prepared to make "a significant outlay" to acquire the Osasco striker's card, transfer of 80 million euros. "They love Rodrygo as an alternative to how the attack situation is right now, as a complementary player to Julián Álvarez" for Diego Pablo Simeone to completely reform his forward line.

In this situation, Real Madrid's "11" could act as the needed replacement for Antoine Griezmann in the Riyadh Air Metropolitano locker room. Alfredo Duro recalls that "this is an independent operation from Julián Álvarez", given that the Argentine "19" is one of the "strong men" of the colchonero coach.

"That is the plan being made, knowing that right now it's not easy", Alfredo Duro recalls. At Atlético de Madrid, they would also have realized that "they have to wait to see what Xabi Alonso's idea is" after his conversations with the players. Everything depends on what happens in the coming weeks, especially in the Club World Cup.

"Let's see in what condition Rodrygo is because if Rodrygo is willing to leave", the leaders led by Enrique Cerezo would get to work. So much so that "at Atlético de Madrid, they think the offensive on the player is going to be very convincing", Alfredo Duro concludes about this hypothetical colchonero approach to Rodrygo.
