Rodrygo eyes Real Madrid exit, where could he end up? | OneFootball

Real Madrid forward Rodrgyo is reportedly considering leaving Los Blancos. The 15-time UEFA Champions League winners are also not opposed to his exit.

Madrid set a €100 million price tag on the Brazilian international, who has recorded 68 goals and 50 assists in 267 appearances in white.

Rodrygo registered these numbers while playing on the right wing, not his favoured position on the opposite flank.

With Vinicius and Kylian Mbappe locking down the left wing, the former Santos man wants a new stomping ground. He needs to be a key player on the left.

Several clubs across Europe will be queuing for his signature, and in this article, we look at which teams could realistically come forward for his signature.

Arsenal

Arsenal need competition for Gabriel Martinelli and should be looking at a marquee signing like Rodrygo.

He can provide cutting edge in attack alongside a new centre-forward and Bukayo Saka.

However, Arsenal might be unwilling to spend so much on the Real Madrid forward.

They have several holes to plug as they bid to clinch their first Premier League title in over two decades.

Manager Mikel Arteta might want to use their funds in other areas, but Rodrygo should be a priority on their summer shopping list. He is the kind of signing that signals intent.

Chelsea

Perhaps no club needs Rodrygo more than Chelsea. He is the profile they are currently missing.

The Blues have a vacuum on the left, with Mykhailo Mudryk suspended indefinitely and the club hesitant about buying Jadon Sancho after his loan.

Chelsea want a left-winger, and Rodrygo should be on their radar ahead of underwhelming options like Jamie Gittens and Alejandro Garnacho.

The Blues can also barter Enzo Fernandez, a Madrid target. Los Blancos need his services in their engine room.

He has not lived up to expectations at Stamford Bridge, and with Andrey Santos returning from his loan spell, they can afford to let Fernandez go.

Manchester United

Rodrygo would slot in seamlessly in the inside left channel of Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 formation at Manchester United.

His flair, movement, and composure in the final third would add a new dimension.

The Sao Paulo-born attacker would give Man Utd another lethal option alongside Bruno Fernandes.

If they get a serious striker, it could spark a revival of their blunt attack.

But after seeing several big-money signings fail to hit the ground running, Man Utd will be wary of adding more expensive players to their roster.

Liverpool

Premier League champions Liverpool do not need a winger, but if Federico Chiesa or Luis Diaz leaves, the Reds might consider contacting Madrid.

Rumours had linked Rodrygo with a move to Merseyside, but nothing materialised. This summer might be a chance to make something happen.

A signing like Rodrygo can be an ace up their sleeve in the fight to retain their Premier League crown next season.

He will give the Reds another talismanic option besides Mohamed Salah as they bid for successive league titles for the first time since the 1980s.

Manchester City

Rodrygo has also featured in the Man City rumour mill, and with the club set to splash the cash this summer, he might be a target.

Rodrygo can reinforce the left wing if the underwhelming Jack Grealish leaves, providing competition for Jeremy Doku.

Man City are preparing for a new era, and Rodrygo is the kind of signing who can lead them into this new age.

City know all about his pedigree. He has scorched them multiple times in the Champions League, and they will be happy to have him on their side.

Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich plan to let go of Kingsley Coman, Mathys Tel, and Bryan Zaragoza this summer.

They will need a new face on the left flank to challenge Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry (if they stay).

Rodrygo fits the bill. He has European pedigree, tactical intelligence, and the ability to shine in high-pressure moments – qualities of a Bayern player.

The prospect of a forward line of Rodrygo, Jamal Musiala, and Michael Olise behind Harry Kane is tantalising.

Unfortunately, Bayern might be too busy with a move for Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz.

The German international will cost a fortune, and Die Rekordmeister might not have enough in the coffers for Rodrygo.
