Real Madrid Reportedly Open to Letting Rodrygo and Three Others Leave After Club World Cup
As Real Madrid sets its sights on the FIFA Club World Cup, big changes could be on the horizon. According to Tomás González-Martín via Defensa Central, club officials have reportedly informed manager Xabi Alonso that up to four players could be on the move once the tournament ends including Rodrygo Goes.
Transfer Talks on Hold — For Now
With full attention on the Club World Cup, Real Madrid has temporarily paused all transfer negotiations. But once the campaign concludes, the expectation is that the transfer market will heat up. Sources close to the club indicate that Rodrygo, Brahim Díaz, Dani Ceballos, and Fran García are all names under consideration for a potential exit.
- Rodrygo, despite being a regular presence this season, continues to attract interest from Premier League clubs and could be the subject of a new offer in the coming days.
- Dani Ceballos and Fran García appear to have fallen down the pecking order, with both likely to leave as part of a squad refresh.
- Brahim Díaz, meanwhile, remains a valued rotational option. His future is less certain, especially with top European clubs reportedly monitoring him.
Arsenal Reportedly Eyes Rodrygo in €50M Move
Among the potential suitors, Arsenal has emerged as a serious contender for Rodrygo’s signature. Reports claim the Premier League side is preparing an offer in the region of €50 million, a figure that would likely tempt the Madrid board. The Brazilian forward has logged 53 appearances this season, contributing six goals and six assists.
Still, no final decision will be made until Real Madrid finishes its Club World Cup campaign.
Focus Shifts to Pachuca — Mbappé Still Doubtful
Next up for Los Blancos is a crucial clash against Pachuca on Sunday (June 22) at 4 PM (Brasília time). There’s still uncertainty around Kylian Mbappé’s availability, but local media suggest he could return for the group-stage finale against RB Salzburg.
Why This Matters
If these transfers go through, it could mark a new era under Xabi Alonso, with Real Madrid reshaping its roster as it looks ahead to the next European season possibly with Mbappé leading the line.
