For several years, Real Madrid supporters followed all the episodes of the Kylian Mbappé saga. A soap opera that ended well since French signed free last year. In parallel, they also closely followed all the twists and turns in the Vinicius Jr. file announced close to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, the Brazilian is close to a contract extension. But it has not yet been activated. This summer 2025, Madrilenians were passionate about the Rodrygo soap opera. Centerpiece of the Spanish training during the Carlo Ancelotti era, the 24 -year -old is the star who will be sacrificed by Madrid leaders.
The latter are counting on the Jude Bellingham trio, Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr. In their shadow, the International Auriverde tried to exist. But the poor results of the Merengues and especially their lack of balance convinced Florentino Pérez and his teams to change things. Deemed less essential than the other three stars of the Liga stable, Rodrygo, which we hardly saw during the Club World Cup, is therefore on the hot seat. This Tuesday again, The Athletic Ensures that the Madrid board and Xabi Alonso agreed together that the player would be sold if a good offer arrived on their desk this summer.
Madrid wants to rely on 4 players
For the moment, this is not the case. But clubs are there and ready to seize this opportunity which could no longer be represented. Arsenal is obviously the most interested. PSG or Manchester City are cited as possible fall points. But to attach your services, you will have to put at least € 100 million on the table. Which reduces possibilities and options. Despite everything, a departure is more than considering this summer. If Rodrygo came to leave, the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium also planned everything. The Athletic reveals that there is no question of the Casa Blanca to replace it.
A strong choice on the part of the Madrid, who must strengthen themselves elsewhere in particular at the post of left side. The Merengues are convinced that they can rely on the players who are already. First there is Brahim Diaz, who also discusses extension with the club when his lease ends in 2027. There is also Arda Güler, who is versatile but who has played in the middle since the arrival of Xabi Alonso, and Endrick, which is a n ° 9 but which could scratch playing time in this way. The latest option is Franco Mastantuono. Bought for more than € 60 million in River Plate, the versatile Argentinian attacking midfielder could also take advantage of the departure of Rodrygo. Real Madrid has already thought of everything!
