Rodrygo could be on his way out of Real Madrid as the summer transfer window edges closer. The Spanish capital’s club appears willing to entertain offers for the Brazilian winger, especially as the player himself is reportedly considering a change of scenery. Recent reports suggest that the 24-year-old feels undervalued and overshadowed by the team’s star players, including Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham.

If the 33-time Brazilian international is officially put up for sale, a move to the Premier League seems highly likely. English powerhouses are reportedly showing the most interest in Rodrygo, with Liverpool being particularly keen on acquiring his services, according to the British outlet “Football Insider.” However, any potential transfer would require Liverpool’s management to dig deep; Real Madrid has priced the player at a hefty £100 million.

The right-sided attacker has been a regular feature for Los Blancos since his arrival in July 2019, when he ed from Santos — the club where he began his career — for €45 million. Since then, Rodrygo has made a total of 267 appearances for Real Madrid, notching 68 goals and providing 50 assists. Despite his young age, the talented winger has already won the Champions League twice, playing a pivotal role in both campaigns for the Spanish giants.
