JUST IN: RODRYGO ACCELERATES DEPARTURE! ARSENAL AND CITY POSITIONED AS THE MOST LIKELY DESTINATIONS
Rodrygo is pushing for an "accelerated" exit from Real Madrid. Discover why Arsenal and Man City are the most likely destinations.
Fresh reports out of Spain say Rodrygo’s time at Real Madrid is pretty much over. The Brazilian winger, once a star under Carlo Ancelotti, now looks set for a move, with Arsenal and Manchester City leading the race if he actually leaves.
Not that long ago, Rodrygo was flying. He helped Real Madrid win LaLiga, the Champions League, and the Spanish Super Cup just 18 months back—one of Ancelotti’s go-to guys. But things have changed fast. Since Xabi Alonso replaced Ancelotti, Rodrygo has dropped way down the pecking order. He’s only managed one goal and two assists in 16 LaLiga games this season. That’s a brutal dip for someone with his talent.
According to SPORT, Rodrygo and his dad—who’s acting as his agent—don’t want a repeat of last summer. Back then, Real blocked his move even though plenty of top clubs wanted him. Now, Rodrygo feels there’s “no going back.” With the January window open, he’s pushing to get out as soon as possible.
Right now, Arsenal and City look like his best bets, but Liverpool is still in the picture. They need a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, and Rodrygo’s on their radar. Still, City might be out of the running soon—they’re close to signing Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth, which would fill their attacking gap.
Rodrygo usually does his best work on the left wing. Liverpool could use someone there, but replacing Salah on the right is probably their bigger priority. That leaves Arsenal. They already have Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, and now Eberechi Eze on the left, so it’s a bit crowded. Whether Mikel Arteta wants to add another option is up in the air—and it might not matter if Real Madrid decides to dig their heels in again.
There’s another twist: Kylian Mbappé picked up a knee injury, which could mean Rodrygo has to stick around at Real Madrid a little longer. If he does leave, the club still wants around €100 million (£87m) for him. That’s a hefty price, especially since he hasn’t been matching last season’s form, but his contract runs until 2028.
And don’t forget PSG. They have the cash to swoop in and outbid any Premier League team if they want to.
So, while Rodrygo pushes for a way out, everyone’s watching Madrid this January to see what happens next.
WHY AC MILAN ARE TURNING TO REAL MADRID’S BACKUP ANDRIY LUNIN TO REPLACE MIKE MAIGNAN
AC Milan is preparing a €15M bid for Andriy Lunin. Discover why the Real Madrid keeper is now the favourite to take over at San Siro.
AC Milan might go after Andriy Lunin from Real Madrid this summer, according to Defensa Central. Apparently, Milan is having trouble getting Mike Maignan to sign a new contract.
So, Lunin is high on their list as a possible replacement. He did sign a deal to stay with Real Madrid until 2030, but Milan is still watching him while things with Maignan are up in the air.
Reportedly, Milan gave Maignan a final offer of €7 million per season, but he's not sure about it. Because of this, the club is now scouting for other options.
If Maignan leaves, Milan's bosses plan to offer between €10 million and €15 million for Lunin. They think that's a fair price for a keeper with his experience.
Real Madrid usually doesn't do winter transfers. The club has already said they won't sell anyone in January, except for loaning Endrick to Lyon. So, they won't even think about a deal for Lunin until the season is over.
Lunin turned down offers from Turkish clubs last summer to compete for his spot at Real Madrid. The chance to start every week at Milan could change his mind. At 26, he's currently Courtois' backup. A move in 2026 could give him the playing time he wants. Manchester United was also interested in Lunin last summer, so there'll be plenty of teams after him.
Why Real Madrid Should Ask for More or Keep Lunin
Lunin showed what he's capable of when he filled in for Courtois. He has the skills to play at the highest level. He saved Real Madrid many times, including in important Champions League games. Because of his input, his value has increased.
The rumoured price of €10 million to €15 million seems too low. Lunin was key to Real Madrid's defence for most of the 2023/24 season. Real Madrid should ask for way more if they decide to sell. If not, they should keep him as a backup in case Courtois gets hurt again.
Selling him for that little would be a mistake. It’s almost impossible to find another backup as good as him for that price these days. It's hard to keep a keeper who wants to be the number one, but Xabi Alonso thinks having a deep squad is very important.
Real Madrid needs to think about the money versus the risk on the field. Letting a talent like Lunin go for cheap would be a bad move. Madrid should keep him unless Milan makes a much better offer. Having two top-notch goalkeepers creates a sense of security that money can't often buy.
MARKET REPORT: WHY CHELSEA IS SUDDENLY THE FAVORITE TO RESIGN ANTONIO RüDIGER
Antonio Rüdiger is considering a shock return to Chelsea as Real Madrid pause contract talks. Read why Xabi Alonso is hesitant.
Word on the street is that Antonio Rudiger might head back to Chelsea. The Real Madrid player is thinking about coming back to the Premier League. His deal with Real Madrid runs out in 2026, and he hasn't agreed to a new one yet. There's talk he might leave next summer and maybe even team up with Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia.
Contract Talks On Hold
Back in November, Marca said that Rudiger and Real Madrid started talking about a new contract, but those talks are on pause now. His current contract is up at the end of the season. They started talking months ago, threw some numbers around, and both sides seemed to want a deal.
But they stopped talking after Rudiger hurt his muscle in September. They decided it wasn't right to make a deal while he was getting better.
Back to Chelsea?
Rudiger played for Chelsea for five years, winning a Champions League title, before moving to Real Madrid in 2022. Now, he might go back to Chelsea. There are rumours that Chelsea wants him back next summer, according to Diario AS.
Also, Paris Saint-Germain is interested, and Galatasaray is watching what's happening with him in Madrid.
Besides Europe, he's also wanted in Saudi Arabia. Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal are thinking about trying to get him next year.
What Alonso Thinks
BILD said in October that Xabi Alonso, the Madrid boss, isn't totally sold on Rudiger. He thinks Rudiger has been getting injured too much and hasn't been playing consistently. Also, Dean Huijsen, who joined in the summer, has been playing great and has already won a starting spot. Huijsen and Eder Militao have been a solid pair in the back, but Militao got hurt recently.
Madrid Might Not Sign Two Defenders
Even with Rudiger's future up in the air, AS says that Madrid isn't looking to sign two defenders anymore. They were looking at Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool and Dayot Upamecano from Bayern Munich. Both of those guys might leave their clubs since they're in the last six months of their contracts.
There were reports that Real Madrid wasn't interested in Konate because he hadn't been playing well lately. They might still move next summer, but it probably won't be to Real Madrid.
Alonso's team plays Real Betis at home on January 4 after the winter break.
