Rodrygo, tempted by Real Madrid's top rival: Florentino Pérez has surprised with his response

After a summer full of rumors and conflicting reports, Rodrygo is still a Real Madrid player and an important piece for Xabi Alonso. His situation, however, hasn't been free of ups and downs. Last season wasn't the best for the Brazilian, who went through an emotional slump and ended up losing prominence in the final stretch.

Rodrygo himself admitted he suffered a mental block that directly affected his performance. For several months, Real Madrid's number 11 couldn't find his best form, and that situation created doubts both inside and outside the club. As a result, rumors about his future and his possible departure from Bernabéu began to multiply.

Europe's top clubs didn't take long to show interest. PSG, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich were some of the teams that explored signing him, attracted by his potential and youth. Rodrygo, at just 24 years old, already has experience in big Champions League nights and a record few can match at his age.

Rodrygo, tempted by Real Madrid's no. 1 rival: Florentino Pérez has surprised with his response

In this context, an episode has come to light that shows the trust Real Madrid still has in him. According to José Félix Díaz, Bayern Munich made a formal offer of €70 million (70 million euros) for Rodrygo during the last transfer window. This was a significant amount that, however, was rejected without hesitation by Florentino Pérez.

Even so, from Bernabéu the response was immediate and forceful. Florentino Pérez made it clear that Rodrygo is not for sale, no matter the amount Bayern put forward. For the club president, the Brazilian winger remains a strategic piece of the project led by Xabi Alonso.

Rodrygo only has one goal in mind

Now, Rodrygo's main challenge is to win back a starting spot at Real Madrid. Xabi Alonso has placed him in tough competition with his compatriot Vinícius Júnior for the left wing. The coach values his defensive sacrifice and his ability to link up with teammates, but he demands consistency in the final third of the field.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, celebrates the loyalty of a player who arrived at just 18 years old and who remains committed to the project. At a time when the club prioritizes stability and continuity, Rodrygo represents exactly those values. Florentino Pérez is clear: for €70 million (70 million euros), the Brazilian won't leave Bernabéu.

Bayern Munich will have to look for alternatives, although for now it seems that the bet on Luis Díaz is working. Rodrygo, meanwhile, is facing a new stage with the motivation to show that he remains decisive. With the full trust of Xabi Alonso and the president, he has everything he needs to achieve it.
