In a dramatic turn of events that could shake up the future of Real Madrid, club legend Zinedine Zidane has reportedly delivered a stern warning to president Florentino Pérez regarding the possible transfer of Brazilian forward Rodrygo to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Zidane, who has a storied history with the club both as a player and a manager, did not hold back in his assessment. He cautioned that allowing Rodrygo to leave the Santiago Bernabéu could have dire consequences for the Spanish giants, potentially plunging them into another extended period of struggle. According to Zidane, Rodrygo’s talent and potential to lead the line for Real Madrid is unmatched, and losing him now would be a massive strategic misstep.
“If Real Madrid lets Rodrygo join PSG, they will face another decade of suffering,” Zidane reportedly said, emphasizing the young forward’s value to the team. “A striker like that in their squad? He could revolutionize European football.”
Zidane’s comments underscore the high regard in which he holds Rodrygo and reflect broader concerns about the direction the club may be taking. Rodrygo has consistently impressed in crucial moments and has grown into a key figure in Real Madrid’s attacking setup. Still only in his early twenties, he is seen by many as one of the future cornerstones of both Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team.
The possibility of Rodrygo moving to PSG has sparked widespread debate among fans and analysts, particularly in light of Kylian Mbappé’s recent move to Madrid. Some see the Brazilian’s departure as a way to make room in the squad and the wage bill, while others, like Zidane, view it as a grave mistake.
Zidane’s warning adds pressure on Real Madrid’s board to think carefully before making any final decisions. For a club that prides itself on building dynasties of success, letting go of a player with Rodrygo’s potential could prove to be a pivotal moment—for better or worse.
