According to the latest report from Diario Sport, Rodrygo originally planned to leave Real Madrid this summer and hoped to go to the Premier League, but a serious injury changed his plan.
It is reported that Rodrygo originally planned to leave Real Madrid this summer. He made this decision unilaterally, which coincided with the wishes of Florentino, who solely controls sports affairs at the club.
He tried to leave last year after the Club World Cup in the United States, but failed. At that time, he entrusted multiple agents to sell himself to different clubs at the same time, as if he was holding an auction. However, this strategy ended in failure.
Rodrygo and his father have held in-depth negotiations with a big-name agent in international football. In this regard, he has no shortage of suitors. The plan is to cooperate with an agent who can ensure the player receives a large bonus when signing and let him go to the Premier League.
Paris is almost ruled out because Enrique's lineup is strong enough, and since Mbappe's free transfer to Real Madrid, the relationship between the two clubs has been tense.
Rodrygo's plan is to participate in the World Cup and enhance his competitive image. On this point, he and Real Madrid once again reached an agreement. The club believes that the player can increase his market value. This season, he has only scored 3 goals in 27 games.
In the summer of 2025, Florentino priced him at 100 million euros and was unwilling to compromise throughout the summer window. His idea is to obtain at least this amount through the transfer, and possibly include some easily achievable bonuses. The player is well aware of this.
By selling Rodrygo, Real Madrid hopes to raise funds to strengthen the squad. Since January, the team has lost two championships, and after two consecutive losses, the league situation has also become very severe.
The 185 million euros invested this season has failed to reverse the team's decline. The team has already been defeated on all fronts last season. Barca has won in three direct confrontations. Real Madrid needs to enter the transfer market again and sign at least two key players.
However, this plan was broken on Tuesday. Real Madrid confirmed that Rodrygo has a torn anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) and lateral meniscus in his right knee. Before that, Rodrygo was sidelined for a month due to tendinitis.
This serious injury will prevent him from participating in the remaining games of this season and force him to miss the 2026 World Cup. Now, all indications are that Neymar will replace him.
According to the current treatment plan for this type of injury, Rodrygo is likely to return to the field in early 2027. In fact, this means that the possibility of Rodrygo's transfer will be postponed to the summer window of 2027, when he will have only one year left on his contract.
