In a stunning transfer market development, FC Barcelona have reportedly registered their interest in signing forward Rodrygo from their arch-rivals, Real Madrid.
The Catalan club, who are also working on a deal for Marcus Rashford, are said to have contacted intermediaries to inform them of their interest in the Brazilian star. While there are no ongoing direct discussions yet, the approach is a clear signal of their intent.
This news comes as Rodrygo himself is said to be “in two minds” about his future. According to Fabrizio Romano, the player “LOVES Real Madrid” and feels he can still contribute a lot, but he is also tempted by the opportunity to be the main “STAR” at another top club.
Barcelona’s interest adds a dramatic new layer to the saga. The move puts pressure on both Rodrygo, who is now deciding his future, and on Real Madrid, who now face interest from their biggest rivals for one of their key players.
