Serious discussions have begun around another interesting transfer news in European football. Rumors that one of the key figures in Real Madrid's attack would be found at Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur have gradually become topics of doubt rather than envy.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, the main factor closing the 24-year-old Brazilian star's path to the London club is his very high salary. According to the source, under current circumstances, Tottenham cannot meet Rodrigo's financial demands, which complicates any negotiations and makes the deal difficult to execute.
The current contract between Real Madrid and Rodrigo runs until the summer of 2028. The striker's market value is also not low - the Transfermarkt portal estimated him at around 80 million euros. These figures are also cited as one of the factors hindering the transfer.
The Brazilian player hasn't had regular playing time with Real Madrid this season either. In the 2025/26 season, he played in 16 matches and helped the team with 3 assists. Although his goal statistics are not as bright, he is still an important player in Xabi Alonso's tactical plan.
In this regard, the Madrid club is unwilling to let Rodrigo go until a serious offer arrives. The player himself is satisfied with his position at the club and feels comfortable in Madrid.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are reportedly exploring other options to strengthen their attack. However, Rodrigo's transfer is currently unlikely to materialize.
For the fans, this means something else: Rodrigo will not leave the Santiago Bernabeu yet and will continue to develop his game for Real Madrid.
