PSG decides to sell Kolo Muani and Asensio to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid
Brazilian forward could leave Bernabéu as Paris Saint-Germain intensifies pursuit
Paris Saint-Germain is accelerating efforts to sign Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid, and is preparing to offload forwards Marco Asensio and Randal Kolo Muani to make the move possible. The Ligue 1 giants aim to reduce their wage bill and free up space in the attack for the Brazilian, according to Fichajes.
Rodrygo no longer central to Xabi Alonso’s plans
The 23-year-old Brazilian has reportedly slipped down the pecking order under new manager Xabi Alonso, prompting speculation over his future at the Santiago Bernabéu. Although he played a key role in Real Madrid’s recent Champions League and La Liga campaigns, the arrival of new signings and tactical changes may now push him toward the exit.
PSG clears space in attack
To pave the way for Rodrygo’s arrival, PSG is working on the departures of two high-earning forwards. Marco Asensio, formerly of Real Madrid, spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, scoring 8 goals and adding 1 assist in 21 appearances. Despite his solid form, he is not in Luis Enrique’s future plans.
Meanwhile, Kolo Muani, who had a short loan spell at Juventus, scored 10 goals and delivered 3 assists in 22 games. Despite his output, the French striker is also set to leave, with PSG reportedly unwilling to keep him in the squad for the new season.
Real Madrid open to negotiations
Although no official offers have been confirmed, Real Madrid is said to be open to negotiating Rodrygo’s transfer if the right proposal arrives. With interest from multiple clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, the situation is expected to evolve rapidly.
Fenerbahçe is reportedly leading the race to sign Asensio, while Kolo Muani’s next destination remains unclear. However, both exits are seen as essential for PSG to move forward with a serious bid for Rodrygo.
