For several years, Real Madrid fans have followed every episode of the Kylian Mbappé saga. A saga that ended happily since the Frenchman signed on a free transfer last year. At the same time, they have also closely followed every twist and turn in the Vinicius Jr. case. Reportedly close to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, the Brazilian is close to a contract extension. But it has not yet been finalized. This summer of 2025, Madrid fans are passionate about the Rodrygo saga . A key player for the Spanish team during the Carlo Ancelotti era, the 24-year-old is the star who will be sacrificed by the Madrid management.
They are counting on the trio Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr. In their shadow, the Auriverde international has tried to exist. But the poor results of the Merengues and especially their lack of balance have convinced Florentino Pérez and his teams to change things. Deemed less indispensable than the three other stars of the La Liga team , Rodrygo, who was hardly seen during the Club World Cup, is therefore in the hot seat. This Tuesday, The Athletic assures that the Madrid board and Xabi Alonso have agreed together that the player will be sold if a good offer arrives on their desk this summer.
Madrid wants to rely on 4 players
For the moment, this isn't the case. But clubs are there and ready to seize this opportunity, which may not come again. Arsenal is clearly the most interested. PSG and Manchester City are cited as possible landing spots. But to secure his services, they'll need to put at least €100 million on the table. This narrows down the possibilities and options. Despite everything, a departure is more than conceivable this summer. If Rodrygo were to leave, the Santiago Bernabéu residents have everything planned. The Athletic reveals that there is no question of the Casa Blanca replacing him.
A strong choice from Madrid, who need to strengthen elsewhere, particularly at left-back. The Merengues are confident they can rely on existing players. First, there's Brahim Diaz, who is in talks with the club about extending his contract, as his contract expires in 2027. There's also Arda Güler, who is versatile but has played in midfield since Xabi Alonso's arrival, and Endrick, who is a No. 9 but could earn some playing time that way. The final option is Franco Mastantuono. Bought for over €60 million from River Plate, the versatile Argentinian attacking midfielder could also benefit from Rodrygo's departure. Real Madrid has already thought of everything.
