Real Madrid-bound Rodrygo is due to arrive at the Bernabéu in the summer, but Santos want the young forward to stay until the end of 2019.
Santos have asked Real Madrid for permission to keep young forward Rodrygo Goes until the end of 2019, the Brazilian club's president has confirmed.
"We've put in the request to Real Madrid and we're waiting for their thoughts," José Carlos Peres told the Brazilian television channel TV Gazeta on Sunday. "It's still a little early, but we did it now as a precaution."
Rodrygo signed by Real Madrid last summer
Rodrygo signed for Madrid in a 45m-euro deal last June, but with FIFA rules preventing him from moving to Spain until after his 18th birthday - which was on Wednesday - it was agreed at the time that he would remain at Santos until the summer.
In December, new Santos coach Jorge Sampaoli spoke of his belief that the starlet would be better off staying at the Peixe for longer to continue his development.
"I think that, for the good of his career, it'd be best if Rodrygo spent a couple more years establishing himself here," the Argentine said at his unveiling by the club. "For his good and for mine; it's not up to me, though."
Rodrygo currently on international duty
Rodrygo is yet to link up with Sampaoli as he is currently on Brazil U-20 duty ahead of the South American U-20 Championship, which begins on Thursday.
Before joining up with the Canarinha, he flew to Spain to visit Madrid's facilities and attend River Plate's Copa Libertadores final win over Boca Juniors at the Bernabéu.

To gain maturity, the young still need first team played and that is difficult at real...

Real Madrid should be pragmatic and not make a hasty decision . Rodrygo needs game time at the top level which is quite difficult to get in Madrid . And Madrid needs someone who can make a difference on his arrival. So better decision would be to let Rodrygo in Santos till 2020 and get a good striker this window or the summer window.

if he is to come to Spain then definitely he wouldn't be placed in the top team. most likely he would be sent to castilla to play which to me isn't that competitive. it'd be best for him to stay at Santos where competition is strong.

I disagree I think he would be better off coming to Spain, training with the first team in the summer where he can get some chemistry, and if needbe, play with the Castilla until he is deemed to be ready for the 1st team. Or, he should go on loan. Playing with a mid-level to bottom La Liga team will give him more experience and development than staying in Brazil.

You have sold the player and you are pleading that his move to Madrid should be delayed, why are South America 🇻🇮 teams like that?

I say if they pay his salary. all clubs always taken advantage of Madrid. We are always stuck with the thinner end of the stick.
