Real Madrid has yet to finalize its strategy for the upcoming summer transfer window, but it is clear what the club needs to do to complete the generational change in the squad.
Florentino Pérez is getting closer to closing the Mbappé case once and for all with the signing of the French striker. After a seven-year soap opera, Real Madrid is close to signing one of the best players in the world without paying a single euro to his parent club. This move as a free agent also leaves room for other signings.
In principle, no departures are expected in the Santiago Bernabéu dressing room, but Antón Meana seems to have a different view of the matter. The financial strain on the Santiago Bernabéu’s coffers with the possible arrival of Kylian Mbappé, even though he would be a free agent, makes the journalist believe that “Real Madrid will make a sale. They will make a sale of 80 million euros.”
According to the journalist from Cadena SER, that amount would have a name that has been mentioned a lot in recent hours. For Meana, “I don’t know if it will be Rodrygo, I don’t think it will be Fede Valverde… I can’t say the name, but I don’t believe that the club will sign Mbappé for that amount and keep the same players. Vinícius no, I see Rodrygo more than Vinícius.”
Names uncovered
Real Madrid, according to this informant’s feelings, is reportedly considering putting Rodrygo Goes on the transfer list next summer. Although he is a favorite of Florentino Pérez and Carlo Ancelotti has consolidated him as a starter despite his bad streaks, his recent drop in performance is the main argument for talking about the ’11’ verdeamarelo as the player who could leave if Mbappé arrives at Real Madrid.
“I think Rodrygo has more chances of leaving than Vinícius, because Madrid knows that right now their two best players are Vini and Bellingham.” With Vinícius and Fede Valverde ruled out of a hypothetical departure due to the signing of Mbappé, Rodrygo Goes is already the protagonist of the first rumors about a departure from Real Madrid… although there are no teams publicly interested in him.
