In a deal costing €100 million, Paris Saint-Germain may make a move this summer to acquire 24-year-old Brazilian international Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid. Paris Saint-Germain is interested in Rodrygo Goes, according to a report by the Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo. The champions of Ligue 1 are searching the market for a dynamic attacker in anticipation of the summer transfer window. Given that Les Parisiens are considering a deal worth €100 million for the Brazilian international, the Real Madrid attacker has become a target.
His reputation has skyrocketed in the last 18 months, and the 24-year-old has spent a large portion of his time with Real Madrid as a mainstay in the final third. So far this season, the highly regarded attacker has made 27 appearances in all competitions, contributing to 17 goals, 10 goals, and seven assists. The player is currently in high demand, with numerous prestigious clubs throughout Europe aiming to sign him. One among the potential suitors for the Real Madrid attacker during the summer transfer window will be Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG eye Real Madrid superstar Rodrygo, player with €1 Billion clause
RMC Sport and other French media outlets claim that the Parisian team views him as a vital member and is ready to resume talks. PSG was already interested in 2023, but all proposals were blown away in Madrid. After receiving interest from a number of elite teams, Real Madrid chose to extend the Brazilian’s contract through 2028. That deal included a release clause worth at least €1 billion. Rodrygo’s club wanted to make it very obvious that he was not for sale.
It has been suggested that PSG’s interest extends beyond sports. Additionally, Rodrygo’s signing is perceived as a kind of “revenge” for Kylian Mbappe’s departure. In the summer of last year, the Frenchman made the decision to leave Paris and sign a free transfer to Los Blancos. He presently plays in attack for Carlo Ancelotti’s team with Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. But coming to a deal with Real Madrid won’t be simple. Only if the winger himself consents to leave and if a club is willing to pay the exorbitant sum of his buyout clause will the Madrilenians be willing to sell. Thus, a January move is extremely unlikely.
