Real Madrid star Rodrygo has fueled fresh speculation after posting a mysterious message on social media, with interest from Liverpool and Arsenal continuing to build.
The 24-year-old Brazilian forward has been surrounded by transfer talk for months, especially after struggling for form and game time under Carlo Ancelotti late in the 2024/25 season.
Rodrygo — contracted with Real Madrid until 2028 and once described by Jude Bellingham as the club’s most naturally gifted player — now faces an uncertain future following tactical changes and high-profile arrivals like Trent Alexander-Arnold under new boss Xabi Alonso.
Liverpool, Arsenal, and reportedly Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs monitoring his situation. According to The Guardian, Real Madrid are open to selling him this summer, with ESPN suggesting an asking price of €80–100 million (£69–87 million).
On August 3, Rodrygo shared Instagram photos captioned: “Holidays completed. Clear mind and many missions ahead!” — a statement fans were quick to dissect. Comments ranged from admiration for his talent to playful guesses about him preparing for a move.
Despite the rumors, ESPN reports that Rodrygo’s official stance is to remain at Madrid, with no formal request to leave.
Meanwhile, AS claims Fenerbahçe boss José Mourinho has also shown interest, eyeing Rodrygo along with David Alaba and Brahim Diaz as part of an ambitious rebuild in Turkey, where he has already brought in Sofyan Amrabat, Milan Skriniar, and Jhon Duran.
