Rodrygo: Real Madrid ‘Willing to Lower’ Asking Price Amid Four-Way Transfer Chase

Real Madrid are planning a significant summer clear-out to manage their finances, with Rodrygo expected to be the first departure. Despite high spending under Xabi Alonso, the club has struggled to generate transfer income, relying mainly on wage reductions and one small sale.

Madrid are reportedly willing to lower their original €90 million asking price for Rodrygo to attract suitors. Interest from Premier League clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool has reportedly cooled or closed, while Bayern Munich's pursuit of Luis Díaz potentially opens an opportunity for Tottenham. Rodrygo himself is not actively seeking a move unless instructed by coach Alonso.

Beyond Rodrygo, Madrid are considering exits for several other players: David Alaba, Endrick, Ferland Mendy, and Dani Ceballos. Alaba and Endrick are reportedly keen to stay. Alaba rejected an offer for a contract payoff. Endrick faces limited playing time and interest due to injury, potentially leading to a January loan. Mendy is also out of favor and injured. Ceballos is open to a move, possibly to Real Betis, though financing remains uncertain.
