Real Madrid have not received any offer for exit-linked forward amidst Premier League interest
According to a recent update shared by MARCA, Real Madrid have not yet received any offers for their Brazilian forward Rodrygo. This news comes at a time when the club could be heading for big changes following the FIFA Club World Cup. Advertisement After completing three new signings already, it looks likely that someone from the current squad will need to leave to balance the roster and the club's salary expenses. It is to be noted that the door for departures remains wide open. Real Madrid have a clear policy that if a player no longer wants to stay, they are expected to bring a solid offer that matches the club's demands. If that happens, the club is willing to let the player go. This approach has been in place for years, both in the first team and the youth academy, making it clear that no one is forced to stay if they have doubts about their future. No offer for Rodrygo yet Among players who might leave, Rodrygo's situation stands out. During Carlo Ancelotti's time as coach, the Brazilian enjoyed an undisputed starting role. Rodrygo could leave Real Madrid this summer. (Photo by) Advertisement However, with recent signings and changes in the team, his guaranteed place in the starting XI is now uncertain. The club wants to resolve his future quickly, but as of now, no offers have arrived at Real Madrid's offices, despite rumours linking him to top clubs. Arsenal interested One of the strongest links has been with Arsenal, as the Premier League side has shown interest in Rodrygo. But according to reports, Arsenal have not submitted any official offer so far. The feeling within the club is that the next step should come from the player himself. If Rodrygo wants to stay and fight for his spot, he needs to make that clear. Otherwise, he or his representatives will need to bring an offer that suits Real Madrid's valuation.
