Florentino Pérez goes crazy: he has scored 0 goals in 27 matches, he's worth €100M

Florentino isn't leaving the ship and is preparing a major move for the next transfer window

Despite the constellation of stars that have gathered at Bernabéu, after the stumble against Liverpool, a climate of nervousness has settled at Real Madrid. The fact that Thibaut Courtois was named MVP shows that Xabi Alonso's project isn't as solid as it seemed. In defense, the team keeps struggling, with the lines very far apart and a clear lack of coordination.

In midfield, the absence of a true playmaker keeps weighing down the group. In attack, everything depends on Mbappé's day: if the Frenchman is inspired, Real Madrid compete; if he isn't, the Whites fade away like sugar. In that context, Florentino Pérez has already started moving in the market in search of solutions.

Florentino Pérez takes urgent measures

Florentino Pérez is clear that, looking ahead to next season, the club must strengthen with a center-back and a central midfielder. However, for that to happen, it will be necessary to make room in the squad and generate income. The name most likely to leave the team is Rodrygo.

The Brazilian, who not long ago was one of Real Madrid's greatest prospects, is going through the most difficult moment of his career. In the summer, he was about to leave, but he decided to stay with the hope of regaining prominence. However, the reality is clear: he has 0 goals in his last 27 official matches.

Florentino Pérez demands a rain of millions for Rodrygo

His goal drought has set off alarms in Valdebebas. Xabi Alonso has tried to help him recover mentally, but his lack of confidence is clear. His vertical and daring play has disappeared, and the Brazilian seems out of rhythm in almost every match.

Despite his poor performance, Florentino Pérez doesn't plan to sell him for less than his value. The president has set his price at 100 million euros, a figure that reflects both his potential and his market value. If any club reaches that amount, the transfer will be immediate.

Rodrygo's departure could be very positive

The sale of Rodrygo would open up space for two key signings: a playmaking central midfielder and a starting center-back.  Florentino Pérez believes that it's time to restructure the project and give it greater balance. The club believes that with that money, they can strengthen the two lines that need signings the most.

Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso is already working with the coaching staff on different scenarios. He knows that the possibility of losing Rodrygo is on the table, but it's also an opportunity to evolve. Real Madrid need new faces in several positions and Florentino is willing to make drastic decisions to achieve them.
