summary of the latest on Rodrygo’s potential transfer to Tottenham Hotspur:
🔥 Tottenham eyeing Rodrygo as their summer marquee signing
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly entered the race to sign Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes (24) this summer. Chairman Daniel Levy is preparing a serious push for the Brazilian, reportedly aiming to offer around €90 million, although Real Madrid values him closer to €100 million . Spurs’ interest comes amid broader recruitment that has seen them spend substantial sums on players like Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel, and Morgan Gibbs‑White .
🧐 Rodrygo currently open—but only if circumstances change
Rodrygo has not explicitly pushed for a move. Sources say he’s not actively seeking to leave Real Madrid and expressed a desire to remain, though he is expected to meet with new manager Xabi Alonso early in pre-season to assess his role . While happy at Real, his playing time is expected to diminish under Alonso, placing his future in question .
💷 Financial weight: Top earner status would be a headache
Reports indicate Rodrygo’s weekly wage sits around £400k gross (or roughly £200k net), making him one of the highest‑paid players in Premier League history if he joins Spurs . Signing him would disrupt Tottenham’s current wage structure, and would likely require paying “over the odds” both in fee and salary to convince him to move away from Madrid—especially given interest from clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea, PSG and Bayern Munich .
⚽️ Why this move makes sense—for both parties
For Tottenham:
- They’ve promised manager Thomas Frank major investment and Rodrygo would be a marquee signing.
- With Son Heung‑min potentially departing, Rodrygo would fill that attacking void and signal real ambition—especially as Spurs prepare for Champions League football after winning the Europa League .
For Rodrygo:
- At Madrid he risks reduced playing time under Xabi Alonso, especially with the arrival of Mbappé and prioritisation of Vinícius Jr.
- A move to Spurs would likely offer consistent starts and a platform to be the focal point of attack—enhancing his prospects for a Brazil squad place for World Cup 2026 .
🧭 What’s next
- ✅ Real Madrid are “open to deals” if a suitable offer arrives, though none have yet been formally submitted .
- ⚖️ Tottenham are working to keep costs under control, but the financial reality could make this transfer prohibitively expensive .
- 🔄 Rodrygo remains undecided: he wants clarity from coach Alonso before choosing his path.
✅ Bottom line
