They're offering millions for Rodrygo! Florentino agrees, he has gone 29 matches without scoring

Rodrygo's data forces Florentino to make decisions; the situation has become completely unsustainable

Rodrygo is one of Florentino Pérez's biggest personal bets in recent times. The Brazilian arrived from Santos in 2019 for €45 million when he was just a teenager with tremendous talent, and he quickly became one of the best wingers in the world. His first appearances with Real Madrid were a true statement of intent, winning over Bernabéu with his technique, boldness, and his ability to deliver in the most delicate moments.

In a very short time, he earned the respect of the locker room and the admiration of Madridists. Rodrygo became a game-changing winger, one of those who only need a moment to change the outcome of a match. His performances in the Champions League elevated him even further, to the point where he earned the nickname "Mister Champions" for his decisive goals on Bernabéu's most historic nights.

The legendary comebacks against Chelsea or Manchester City bear his mark and proved that Rodrygo was destined to make history at the white club. His ability to show up in moments of maximum pressure made him an indispensable player for Carlo Ancelotti. However, he is currently going through a very significant slump from which he can't break free.

Rodrygo's situation is inevitable

The fact is that Rodrygo has gone 29 consecutive matches without scoring, a record that surprises even his most loyal supporters. He has become the third forward in Real Madrid's history with the worst scoring streak, only surpassed by Mariano Díaz, who went 30 matches without finding the net. The lack of accuracy has affected his confidence and his play, to the point of losing prominence in the starting eleven.

For the first time since his arrival in 2019, Florentino Pérez is beginning to accept that his cycle at Real Madrid is coming to an end. The president has always protected him, has always trusted his definitive breakthrough, but even he understands that the situation is unsustainable. Rodrygo has gone from being an offensive guarantee to a footballer whose contribution in recent months is practically nil.

Rodrygo's departure is the best solution for everyone

In this context, the first offers have already started to arrive at Bernabéu's offices. The most serious one comes from Tottenham Hotspur, who are willing to make a major financial effort to sign the Brazilian. The English remain convinced that Rodrygo has unique qualities and that he only needs a change of scenery to rediscover his best version.

Tottenham want to give him that second chance that currently seems distant in Madrid. For them, his quality is not in doubt: he is a player capable of breaking down defenses and finishing with an ease that, although now hidden, is still very much within him. That's why they are willing to submit an €85 million ($85 million) offer that Florentino is already seriously considering.

Real Madrid's president faces an important decision: keep faith in Rodrygo or accept his departure. The truth is that, as of today, everything suggests that the Brazilian's time at Bernabéu is dangerously close to its end. The €85 million ($85 million) offered by Tottenham could be enough.
