Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing 24-year-old Brazilian international Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Tottenham Hotspur are plotting an €80 million move for 24-year-old Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo. The former Santos wonderkid is unhappy at the Santiago Bernabeu due to the lack of game time, and he could be on his way out of the club.
Tottenham are hoping to secure his signature. It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done. €80 million is a lot of money, and Real Madrid could be attracted to the idea of selling him.
The South American attacker is not a guaranteed starter for them, and the funds could be used to improve the weaker areas of the squad. Real Madrid need to add more quality in depth in the middle of the park, and they should look to bring in a quality central defender as well. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Rodrygo could fancy a move
Meanwhile, the Brazilian will be desperate for game time as well. With the World Cup coming up in 2026, he will want to be a part of the Brazilian national team squad. Sitting on the bench at Real Madrid will not benefit him. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can convince Real Madrid to sell the player.
Convincing the 24-year-old to join the club should not be too difficult for them. The opportunity to play in the Premier League can be quite tempting for most players. Rodrygo will be able to compete at a high level, and he will be able to play more often at the north London club.
Tottenham have an exciting project, a talented squad, and a quality manager. Thomas Frank might be able to bring out the best in him. The 24-year-old was regarded as a world-class talent when he joined Real Madrid. He has been hailed as a special player in the past as well. It remains to be seen whether he can get back to his best once again. He could be a long-term asset for the London club.
