PSG are in the race to sign Rodrygo, but they’re not the only ones keeping tabs on the Real Madrid star. Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City are all monitoring the Brazilian’s situation closely. That said, any team hoping to secure a deal this summer might be facing an uphill battle.

Real Madrid are expected to shake up their squad in the upcoming transfer window, and several Champions League winners could be on the move. Rodrygo is one of the standout names attracting serious interest across Europe.

Earlier reporting from Sports Zone suggested that Madrid no longer considered Rodrygo untouchable. His representatives have reportedly spoken with Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool, while PSG have also been in contact, though their approach has been more cautious.

According to Diario AS journalist Eduardo Burgos, Real Madrid are expected to demand €100 million for Rodrygo, with Arsenal and Chelsea both showing strong interest in the winger.

Rodrygo is set to start on the bench for the third straight match, with TBR Football reporting that he’s expected to address his future once Real Madrid return from the Club World Cup. He is believed to be ready to make it clear he wants to leave the club.

Diario AS recently reported that Rodrygo is enthusiastic about Xabi Alonso becoming Real Madrid’s new manager and is now expected to remain at the club. According to the outlet, the Brazilian forward’s outlook has shifted significantly, with a strong early bond already developing between him and Alonso.

Still, it’ll be worth watching whether Rodrygo remains content in Madrid, especially with Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappé ahead of him in the pecking order. If playing time becomes an issue, he could consider a move away next summer.
