In a surprising and sensational turn of events, reports have surfaced suggesting that Brazilian star Rodrygo Goes is prepared to join Manchester United — a revelation that has stunned the football community and left Real Madrid fans in disbelief.
While the transfer is yet to be officially confirmed, the story has gained major traction as speculation swirls over Rodrygo’s future at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Behind the scenes, all has not been well for Rodrygo in recent months. Insiders claim the 24-year-old has grown increasingly frustrated with his lack of consistent starts under Real Madrid’s evolving tactics, particularly following the arrival of high-profile additions like Kylian Mbappé.
Although Rodrygo has been instrumental in several key matches, including crucial Champions League and La Liga moments, he has often found himself on the bench or played out of position — a pattern that has reportedly taken a toll on his morale and future outlook.
Now, with Manchester United entering a new era under manager Rúben Amorim, the English giants see Rodrygo as a priority signing to inject pace, creativity, and final-third precision into their squad.
Club executives are believed to have laid out an enticing plan for Rodrygo’s role at Old Trafford — one that includes regular first-team action and a prominent place in Amorim’s attacking system.
The Red Devils are reportedly preparing a formal offer in the region of €80 million (approximately £68 million), aligning with the valuation Real Madrid are said to be considering for the forward.
Despite the rumors, it’s important to note that no official confirmation has been given by Rodrygo or his representatives.
While multiple sources from Spain and England claim that Manchester United are seriously interested and even lead the chase for his signature, there’s no direct statement from the player indicating he has approved a move.
In fact, most credible outlets maintain that Rodrygo still sees Madrid as his footballing home — though that could change if his importance within the team continues to decline.
It is also worth mentioning that the claim Rodrygo has “given the green light” appears to have originated from an unreliable source — a lesser-known website lacking any quotes or solid evidence.
Trusted sports media such as The Athletic and Diario AS suggest that while a transfer is not out of the question, it remains dependent on how Rodrygo’s role under new coach Xabi Alonso develops.
