Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid, has opened the door to a possible departure of Rodrygo Goes in the upcoming transfer market, as long as Manchester City puts on the table an amount reaching 100 million euros.

The decision is almost made and would depend solely on Rodrygo's willingness, who at the moment is focused on immediate sports commitments, although the media noise is getting louder.

The news, leaked by renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, has caused a huge stir in the Madridista environment. In England, it is stated that Pep Guardiola considers the Brazilian forward as an ideal piece to reinforce his attack after several significant departures. The departure of Jack Grealish and the likely farewells of other attacking players would have accelerated 'citizens' plans to go for the Brazilian international.

In the noble floor of the Santiago Bernabéu, they have not taken long to assess this situation. Florentino, always attentive to market opportunities, believes that reaching that transfer fee would be a round business, especially considering that it would allow reinforcing other areas of the team that Xabi Alonso considers a priority. Among these, the addition of an experienced central defender with the capacity to perform at the highest level from day one.

Manchester City offers 100 million euros for Rodrygo

Although Real Madrid has no intention of underselling Rodrygo, the stance is clear: if the player expresses his desire to leave and City pays the required amount, there will be no further negotiations. No swaps, no variables, no complex installment payments. A direct and definitive operation, as has already happened in the past with other stars who left Chamartín for million-dollar figures.

The excellent relationship of Florentino Pérez with the Manchester City hierarchy could ease a quick resolution. It is no secret that both clubs maintain fluent contacts and have, on several occasions, exchanged relevant market information. It is even said that from the Etihad, they have already expressed their readiness to make the full payment, as long as the player gives the final approval.

For Rodrygo, the opportunity to work under Guardiola's orders could be tempting. The Catalan coach has proven to be a master at enhancing versatile attackers, and the Brazilian fits perfectly into that profile. His ability to play on both wings, his electric dribbling, and his game vision would make him a key piece in the offensive mechanism of the current Premier League champions.

However, those close to the player insist that, at least for now, his priority is to perform at his best for Real Madrid. The upcoming friendly in Austrian territory will be an important moment to gauge sensations and, who knows, perhaps influence the final decision. Xabi Alonso, the new white coach, could have the last word in sports matters, although in financial terms, Florentino has already outlined his roadmap.

At Real Madrid, they are aware that Manchester City may try to lower the requested amount, adding bonuses for objectives or variable clauses. However, the Madrid board has no intention of giving in on this point. They believe that the current market, marked by large outlays on top-level players, supports their position. Moreover, those 100 million would be a vital boost to approach key operations that strengthen the squad for the season.

Rodrygo's future seems to be at a crossroads. On one hand, the stability and prestige of staying at Real Madrid, with the possibility of continuing to win titles and establishing himself as a key figure in the team. On the other, the challenge of starting a new stage in the Premier League, under the guidance of one of the most influential modern football coaches.

Florentino Pérez, on his part, has made it clear that the club will not hold any player against his will, but neither will they accept an offer that does not meet the set conditions. The message is clear: if City wants Rodrygo, they must pay the 100 million euros. The ball is now in the player's and Guardiola's court.

In the coming weeks, especially after the friendly matches, it is expected that the situation will become clearer. Meanwhile, at the Santiago Bernabéu, they are already envisioning scenarios for a possible summer market where Rodrygo's sale could be the major move that shapes the planning. What is certain is that Florentino will not miss the opportunity to strengthen the sports project if the figures align.
