Ongoing goal drought: Real Madrid plans to sell Rodrygo for €70 million, fans joke about lack of interest

The latest news from Spanish outlet Defensacentral reveals that Real Madrid's top executives have resolved to transfer Rodrygo, one of the Brazilian duo in the squad, for approximately €70 million.

It is reported that although Alonso publicly states he still trusts Rodrygo, the Brazilian forward continues to struggle with scoring.This season, across all competitions, he has started 5 times in 19 matches, totaling 539 minutes played without scoring any goals.At Real Madrid, he is only used as a substitute. With the World Cup coming next year, if Rodrygo doesn’t get playing time, it will be difficult for him to make Brazil's 2026 World Cup squad. Real Madrid has listed Rodrygo as a player available for sale, priced around €70 million. His fate is in his own hands: either stay and fight for a starting spot, which is unlikely, or transfer out, though finding a good buyer is also challenging.

Although it’s said that Rodrygo would be quickly snapped up by clubs, and that top teams like Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich are interested, fans joke that his €80 million valuation is unrealistic. In reality, it’s hard to sell him for even €50 million. Teams that can afford him doubt his ability, while those who want him cannot afford him, leaving Rodrygo largely unwanted. This summer, Real Madrid set his price at €100 million but did not receive a single offer.
