In recent weeks, there has been a lot of talk that the Brazilian striker could leave the club in this transfer window.
Despite persistent rumours linking Rodrygo Goes to the Premier League, especially Arsenal, the situation is completely different in the Santiago Bernabéu offices. The Spanish giants confirm that they have not received any formal offers for the Brazilian player, whose future is still the subject of speculation.

Real Madrid, following its principle of never closing the door on any player, would consider an offer that matches the player market value of around €80 million. But according to the newspaper MARCA, no club has so far shown concrete interest or made official contact with the Madrid club.
Rodrygo’s development and situation
Rodrygo, who came to the Spanish capital in 2018 after a transfer from Santos for €45 million, has doubled its market value over the years. But his recent performances have raised some doubts. His participation in the Club World Cup has been limited, both due to tactical decisions and fierce competition in the attacking line-up, where Vinicius and Gonzalo have been favourites. Kylian Mbappé’s arrival could further complicate his playing time.
No rush, but no offers
either Internal sources at the club believe that the striker needs to get back to his best form if he wants to remain a key player for Xabi Alonso – or alternatively increase his market value for a possible transfer.
Meanwhile, it’s quiet at Valdebebas, Madrid’s training facility. There is neither haste nor immediate decisions; The club only observes and waits for either a sporting reaction from the player or an offer approaching the desired amount. So far, neither has happened. And as it is said internally: “The season has just begun.”
Rodrygo himself has not publicly commented on his future, but with Mbappé’s arrival and the fierce competition for places in Madrid’s attack, a transfer could still be relevant if a good enough offer comes along.
