Real Madrid doubt Rodrygo would accept an offer from Newcastle United if it ever arrives | OneFootball

Real Madrid doubt Rodrygo would accept an offer from Newcastle United if one ever arrives, according to Spanish journalist Guillem Balague.

Newcastle have been credited with an interest in the Brazilian forward, but they have yet to submit a bid for him.

Madrid want €100 million for the 24-year-old, but they could sell him for around €60m towards the end of the summer transfer window.

Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are also keeping tabs on his situation.

However, none of them have made A move to sign him, and he could remain at Madrid beyond this summer.

Newcastle could decide to wait until the final few days of the transfer window before making a concrete move, but he is unlikely to be receptive to the move.

Madrid manager Xabi Alonso insists he is in his plans, despite Rodrygo making just three appearances at the Club World Cup.

The La Liga club played six games in the competition before Paris Saint-Germain eliminated them in the semi-final.

His last appearance was a four-minute cameo in the quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund.

It appears Madrid will not hesitate to sell him if a suitable offer arrives, and the opportunity to sign him for €60m would be too good for Newcastle to resist.

He needs to be playing regularly if he wants to go to the World Cup next year, and an exit could be on the cards in the coming days.

Newcastle can offer him Champions League football and a place in the starting XI, which could result in him considering a move.
