Tottenham, who are known for holding on to the money and with that have a very good economy, have increased the amount they are willing to pay for Rodrygo Goes.
It may seem surprising that Rodrygo Goes, a player who always plays with class, has ended up so far down the hierarchy at Real Madrid. The reason is that the team is built around Kylian Mbappé, which also bothers another outstanding footballer Jude Bellingham.

The Brazilian striker himself wants to leave Real Madrid due to lack of playing time. Manager Xabi Alonso has also made it clear that he does not count on the player going forward, precisely because of the one-sided focus on the French superstar.
The January transfer window could be crucial
The January transfer window looks set to be very dramatic with Rodrygo in the lead role. The Brazilian is facing a turning point in his career, and his future could take a whole new direction as early as the next few weeks.
The situation of the striker in Madrid has become increasingly untenable. With reduced playing time and stiff competition from new, young talent, he has been given a secondary role at a club that demands both continuity and immediate results. Precisely in this field of tension, Tottenham announce their interest, ready to take advantage of the players’ uncertainty and send a strong signal to the rest of Europe. The Premier League thus opens a door that until recently seemed closed.
Tottenham increase the pace in their pursuit of Rodrygo
Spurs are now working on an operation that could set the agenda for the entire winter window. The English board are convinced that Rodrygo fits perfectly into their attacking style of play, especially considering the need to strengthen the left wing – a position that has not been satisfactorily filled this season.
The club from London is now preparing a bid of 85 million euros, which consists of a significant fixed sum and additional bonuses linked to performance targets. This amount is specifically designed to test Real Madrid’s willingness to negotiate the sale of one of its greatest talents. Tottenham have previously signalled a bid of around €65 million, but received a clear answer that more is required to make a deal.
The player looks at the opportunity with optimism
For Rodrygo himself, the possibility of regaining a central role is crucial. The lack of playing time in Madrid not only threatens his development, but could also jeopardize his place in the Brazilian national team for the next World Cup – a goal he values highly.
Real Madrid faces a difficult choice
At the training center in Valdebebas, it is clear that the internal competition has displaced Rodrygo. The breakthrough of young talents such as Arda Güler and Franco Mastantuono has changed the offensive game and pushed the Brazilian down the hierarchy.
Real Madrid are now open to considering offers, although a sale has not been an option in the past. The current situation forces the club to consider options that can strengthen the team’s long-term structure. A significant sale will also give the club financial leeway for the summer’s transfers.
Premier League – the ideal solution?
For Rodrygo, the Premier League could prove to be the perfect solution. Here he can find the playing time and central role he needs, in a league where his ability to create dangerous situations in tight spaces will come into its own. The intense nature of the league will also be able to further develop his game at a crucial point in his career.
All indications are that Rodrygo will be one of the big transfer sagas of the winter. Both Real Madrid and Tottenham now await crucial weeks that could shape not only the club’s future, but also the next chapter in the Brazilian star’s career.
