Rodrygo Goes may become the first significant exit as Real Madrid gears up for a summer transformation.
As reported by PSG Talk, Paris Saint-Germain is taking the lead in the pursuit of the Brazilian winger, but the competition is still very much alive.
Simultaneously, four Premier League giants—Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea—have initiated discussions with his representatives.
Rodrygo made his move to Real Madrid in June 2019, following a €45 million agreement with Santos the year before. It is believed that €40 million of that amount went to the Brazilian team, who retained 80% of his rights.
He signed a long-term deal that extended until June 2028, following an update in November 2023, contributing to a squad that has celebrated Champions League victories.
However, his position is changing. Reports suggest the winger feels slightly eclipsed amid a shifting front line that boasts stars like Vinícius Jr., Jude Bellingham, and the anticipated arrival of Kylian Mbappé.

Statistics reflect this change. Rodrygo has seen approximately 300 fewer minutes on the pitch in La Liga during the 2024-25 season compared to the previous year, indicating a decline in both impact and starting chances.

Currently, there are indications that the Galactico is not off-limits. Fichajes states that a bid of €100 million could facilitate his departure. The club aims to allocate these funds to enhance their midfield and defense—an internal reorganization that is already in motion.
Sports Zone verifies that Real Madrid no longer considers Rodrygo as “untouchable.” His representatives have reached out to both PSG and clubs in the Premier League.
Arsenal, as noted by Diario AS journalist Eduardo Burgos, is monitoring the developments closely, though current discussions remain informal.
The implications are significant. PSG has initiated communication but remains cautious. Meanwhile, top Premier League sides are taking action.
Each club views Rodrygo as a unique chance: a player with Champions League experience, at a competitive age, and still on the rise.
