Despite all the talk during the summer transfer window, Real Madrid forward Rodrygo ultimately stayed put. The Brazilian had been linked with a move to PSG, but nothing came of it, and he’s now expected to remain in Madrid beyond the deadline.
Reports about PSG’s level of interest have varied. Foot Mercato’s Josué Cassé noted that Rodrygo wasn’t a target for the Parisian club over the summer. Meanwhile, Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported that PSG and Liverpool are keeping tabs on him while also adding that Tottenham Hotspur are not in the mix.
PSG could still emerge as a possible destination down the line, but whether Rodrygo leaves Madrid will likely depend on how his role and situation develop in the coming months.

Fichajes reports that Real Madrid are weighing a major shake-up to their attack and could be open to moving on from Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo. The club is reportedly exploring the idea of cashing in on the Brazilian duo, potentially bringing in more than €350 million.
Moreover, the outlet notes that both players have been included on a list of possible departures as part of a broader plan to rebuild the frontline. However, Real Madrid’s final decision will depend on how both perform through the end of the season.

There’s growing concern at Real Madrid about the inconsistent form of Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo this season. While both have shown flashes of brilliance, their uneven performances have sparked internal discussions about the possibility of a strategic sale ahead of the summer transfer window.
Fichajes also cites sources close to the club that say the board still views the pair as valuable assets both commercially and on the pitch, but there’s also an understanding that a major sale could free up resources to reinforce other key areas of the squad.
