Florentino Pérez asks for more than €100M from the 5 clubs that are interested in Rodrygo

The President of Madrid wants to take advantage of the Brazilian's good form to cash in if it were necessary

Rodrygo is one of the best wingers on the continent. Real Madrid's "11" arrived at Bernabéu as an 18-year-old teenager and he hasn't stopped working until he became a true reference point worldwide. His extreme quality in tight spaces, as well as his magical nights in the Champions League, have earned him everyone's respect.

At Bernabéu, until not so long ago, Rodrygo was considered untouchable by a large part of the fans. He was seen as a structural piece, a player who isn't questioned because his performances in Europe have been decisive more than once. But elite soccer changes quickly, and when the market comes into play, even the untouchables become negotiable.

What will happen to Rodrygo?

As it's happening with Vinícius, Rodrygo's future in the capital of Spain hangs by a thread. Xabi Alonso counts on him, and the truth is that Florentino Pérez does too, but the market rules and the team's needs are different. Real Madrid has a squad full of attacking talent, but they drag obvious shortcomings in other areas, and that pushes them to make uncomfortable decisions.

In that context, Rodrygo has become an attractive name on the market: his quality is unmatched. Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that his latest performances are truly good, Real Madrid's president has made a decision. Florentino Pérez has set a price for Rodrygo's departure from Real Madrid and he has already made it known to the five clubs interested in signing him.

Florentino Pérez asks for more than 100 million from the 5 clubs interested in Rodrygo

PSG, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City know that, in order to secure Rodrygo's services, they will have to pay at least €100 million. It is a figure that fits his status, his age and his experience on big nights, and above all the current context of the market. In 2026, for a winger with proven performances in the Champions League, one hundred million is no longer outrageous, it is the elite rate.

For Real Madrid, that figure has a strategic reading. Revenue of €100 million would allow them to go to the market in search of replacements or structural reinforcements, especially in positions where the team needs balance. However, everything will depend on two factors: the player's will and the real pressure of the market.

If any of those clubs come in with a firm offer and the "11" considers a change of role or project, Real Madrid already has the price set. If that money doesn't arrive, the club won't move, because their stance is clear: either €100 million, or Rodrygo stays. We will see what happens, but right now the Brazilian's situation is this.
