Rodrygo (24), Real Madrid’s Brazilian striker, is at the heart of transfer rumours this summer. According to ESPN Brazil, Paris Saint-Germain have officially approached the player’s entourage, taking advantage of his delicate situation under Xabi Alonso. The Parisian club, ambitious on the market, is keen to strengthen its attacking sector and is said to be in competition with Arsenal and Manchester City.
Paris Saint-Germain, fresh from their Champions League triumph, have no intention of stopping there, and have set their sights on Rodrygo. The Brazilian winger, relegated to the background at Real Madrid since the arrival of Xabi Alonso, has played just 23 minutes in the last three games, a brutal downgrade for a player of his calibre.
Luis Enrique, reportedly convinced by Rodrygo’s versatility and European experience, is pushing for his arrival to complete an already rich attacking sector, but judged insufficient to keep up with the pace of a high-intensity season. PSG see in him a profile capable of complementing Ousmane Dembélé (28), Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (24) and Désiré Doué (20), as well as Bradley Barcola (22), while offering a credible alternative at major tournaments.
Arsenal may be a real contender, but Paris has the financial and sporting clout to make the difference, even in the face of Real Madrid’s high demands, which would expect at least 80 to 90 million euros to let their striker go. This summer promises to be a decisive one for Rodrygo, whose future could well be written in PSG’s colors, in a project where he would regain his confidence and responsibilities.
