Real Madrid bracing for more Saudi bids for €100 million-rated star in summer | OneFootball

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo’s future has been a topic of much speculation in recent times, particularly after reports emerged linking him with a massive transfer offer from a Saudi Arabian club.

Despite the intense interest, Real Madrid decided to hold on to the 24-year-old Brazilian for the remainder of the season.

Now, according to Fichajes, the club is expecting to receive more offers from Saudi Arabian teams for the player when the summer transfer window opens.

January offer for Rodrygo

Earlier in the winter, a Middle Eastern club reportedly made an eye-watering offer exceeding €300 million to Real Madrid for Rodrygo’s services. In return, the player would have been offered a staggering €140 million per season.

This lucrative proposal came as a huge surprise to even the highest-ranking officials at the Bernabeu.

However, despite the allure of such a deal, the club made it clear that they were not considering parting ways with one of their most valuable assets mid-season.

Crucial to Real Madrid

Rodrygo plays a crucial role in coach Carlo Ancelotti’s plans for both domestic and international competitions. His skill set, including exceptional speed, dribbling, and goal-scoring ability, has made him one of the key attacking figures for the team.

As a result, even the strongest transfer rumours couldn’t distract the player from his focus on improving his performance and continuing to grow as one of the brightest talents in European football.

Looking to the future, it seems that Saudi Arabian clubs are still keen to sign the Brazilian star, and it’s likely they will return with new offers in the summer. Real Madrid will be faced with a tough decision at that point.

The club will need to carefully weigh the potential for financial gain from such a deal against the value of keeping Rodrygo, a young talent with great promise, at the heart of their squad for years to come.
