PSG have a history of making headline signings. In 2017, they signed Neymar from Barcelona and it was a headline-making signing.
8 years later, they are on the verge of repeating the same. Neymar was playing second fiddle to Lionel Messi at Barcelona at that time.
The same is true for Rodrygo who is currently sidelined. Xabi Alonso doesn’t rate the Brazilian highly. That is why he has no problem if Rodrygo decides to leavel.
It seemed Liverpool are pushing the most to pursue the signature of the Brazilian. However, PSG have stepped up and made the first concrete move to sign the player.
Yes, according to DefensaCentral, PSG have already submitted a €100 million bid for Rodrygo.
Several reports have suggested that Real Madrid are eyeing such a price for the player and PSG are ready to meet the demands of the Los Blancos.
Rodrygo has been a key performer for Madrid over the last 7 years. He has won two Champions League titles with Real Madrid.
Along with Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo was seen as the future of Real Madrid before Xabi Alonso arrived.
Even before Madrid arrived in the USA, there were rumours that Xabi Alonso doesn’t want Rodrygo in the team.
The Club World Cup gave us an example of how Xabi Alonso wants this team to play. And, Rodrygo doesn’t feature in his plans.
He used Rodrygo barely and got schooled by PSG in a high-voltage clash (the semi-final of the tournament where PSG smashed Real Madrid by 4-0).
Luis Enrique, the PSG boss, admires Rodrygo. The current Champions League holders know that he can be a crucial part of their team if they want to retain their title.
However, Real Madrid are yet to respond to the bid PSG submitted. They are waiting for Liverpool to see whether the Premier League champions would go higher than the Champions League winner.
This Rodrygo transfer race is now really heating up.
