At a time when things seemed stable at Real Madrid, a surprising move by one of European football’s giants puts the future of a major star at stake and opens the door to possibilities that were not even considered until recently.
According to informed sources, Paris Saint-Germain has taken its first steps toward a controversial deal aimed at destabilizing Real Madrid’s attacking line, submitting an initial financial offer between €50 and €70 million for Brazilian star Rodrygo Goes.

The move surprised Real Madrid’s management at Valdebebas but did not go unnoticed. Despite the club’s commitment to the player, it informed those around it that it would only consider the offer if it reached €90 million, a figure reflecting the player’s sporting and marketing value, not just his financial valuation.
Rodrygo, considered a key player in Real Madrid’s project, enjoys great confidence from the coaching staff, making the decision to let him go difficult, especially given the team’s ambitions to continue its domestic and continental dominance.
For his part, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of Paris Saint-Germain, appears to be pursuing a systematic plan to replace Mbappé’s departure and create a new, diverse, and balanced attack. He believes Rodrygo is the “missing piece” in Luis Enrique’s offensive system.
Despite the initial offer being rejected, the Parisian side shows no intention of backing down. Instead, they are considering gradually increasing their financial offer, taking advantage of any potential funding needs by Madrid or the expected market pressures at the end of the season.
The current situation leaves Rodrygo’s future uncertain, caught between his desire to continue shining at the Bernabéu and the financial and sporting temptations that could completely change the course of his career.
In Madrid, management knows that retaining stars has become a complex task for clubs with huge resources. In Paris, it seems the battle has only just begun.
