July 19, 2025 — Real Madrid have issued a firm message to potential suitors of Brazilian winger Rodrygo: they will not open transfer negotiations without an offer exceeding €100 million, according to reports citing Fabrizio Romano and club sources.
The 24‑year‑old, once a key figure in Los Blancos’ title-winning sides, has seen his playing time diminish under coach Xabi Alonso. Despite this, Madrid insist they aren’t desperate to sell instead using Rodrygo’s reduced role and valuable contract (running until June 2028) to justify their high valuation.
Clubs in the Premier League are circling. Liverpool are being tipped as favorites, with their interest described as serious, though still pending official talks and the sale of Luis Díaz. Arsenal also remain in the mix, even as their focus widens with recent moves for other attacking options.
Madrid’s transfer strategy appears clear: they’re prepared to part ways — but only for a world-class price. Whether buyers are ready to meet the €100 million mark remains to be seen. With Rodrygo himself reportedly open to playing elsewhere for more minutes, the next few weeks could turn crucial.
