Rodrygo’s Exit Blueprint: Real Madrid’s Star Weighs a Premier League Move

Transfer News: Rodrygo’s Plan

The Brazilian Rodrygo, Real Madrid's star, is set to change his frustrating reality under coach Xabi Alonso, according to Spanish reports who say he has drafted a plan with his father to leave.

According to Spanish newspaper Sport, Rodrygo is seeking a new club for next season.

It notes that Rodrygo and his father learned from their mistakes and have decided his future at Real Madrid, with Manchester City possibly an attractive option.

The plan reportedly includes appointing a new agent, with the player in talks with two leading representatives offering a generous signing bonus.

It states the new agent will play a pivotal role in future negotiations, finding a club for Rodrygo. Given the deal value (around 100 million euros), the Premier League looks likely.

Rodrygo's name has been linked with moves to Manchester City and Arsenal, the two most interested clubs, but their willingness to meet Real Madrid's and the player's demands will be tested.

Punchline 1: If transfer fees were paid by giggles, Rodrygo would already owe a mortgage to the bank.

Punchline 2: The only thing heavier than that price tag is the paperwork when the deal finally lands.
