Rodrigo, one of the Brazilian stars at Real Madrid, previously had a stable market value of €100 million, truly earning the title of a "€100 million player." Although Rodrigo had a disappointing performance last season, his transfer value still stands at €90 million. With the departure of veteran coach Ancelotti and the appointment of young manager Alonso, Rodrigo is not part of Real Madrid's plans for the new season. The club hopes to sell him during this summer transfer window, but there have been no inquiries. However, there is now positive news as a Champions League-level team in the Premier League has made an offer for Rodrigo.
According to the latest report from Spanish media outlet Cadena SER, with Asian star and captain Son Heung-min leaving for Major League Soccer, Tottenham plans to sign Rodrigo to fill Son’s position. They intend to make an offer to Real Madrid within this week, but the fixed portion is only €60 million, plus performance-related clauses, which is far from Rodrigo's €90 million market value and Real Madrid's €100 million asking price.
It is reported that Rodrigo is eager to stay with the team and impress Alonso with his hard work. On Monday, during Real Madrid's training session, Rodrigo was one of the last players to leave the training ground. However, Real Madrid remains firm in their belief that Rodrigo is a player they can sell at a good price and still thinks this Brazilian forward should depart this summer.
At 24 years old, Rodrigo has three years left on his contract with Real Madrid, until 2028. However, due to a five-month goal drought, it will not be easy for Real Madrid to sell Rodrigo this summer. Major clubs in the top five leagues are generally not considering him, and Tottenham is only exploring the option of signing Rodrigo after Son Heung-min’s departure. The €60 million plus performance-related offer is unlikely to increase significantly.
