Although Xabi Alonso stated in the press conference ahead of Real Madrid Club World Cup quarterfinal match against Borussia Dortmund that Rodrygo Goes is “focused on winning and ready when we need him,” rumors surrounding a potential departure of the 24-year-old forward who has a contract until June 2028 continue to gain momentum.

Al Nassr Wants to Fulfill CR7 Wish

However, the English club is not the only contender. In recent hours, a new suitor has emerged: Al Nassr, the Saudi club where Cristiano Ronaldo currently plays. According to Sky Sports, the club has already contacted Rodrygo’s entourage and is prepared to offer a "blank check" to bring him on board.

The potential transfer would have Cristiano Ronaldo full backing, as he sees Rodrygo as a key piece to strengthen the team’s attack. Reports suggest the offer could be astronomically high, with Ronaldo personally pushing for the signing.

Arsenal: The Most Likely Destination

Despite the enticing offer, the same source claims that Rodrygo would prefer a move to the Premier League over Saudi Arabia if he ultimately leaves Real Madrid.

So far, Arsenal appears to be the most likely destination for the Brazilian. Real Madrid would reportedly be open to letting him go for a fee in the range of $80–90 million.

Club World Cup: His Last Dance?

A final decision has yet to be made, but the pressure of the summer transfer window and Real Madrid squad planning could accelerate talks in the coming days. One thing is clear: Rodrygo doesn’t want to leave without winning one more title with Los Blancos, and the Club World Cup might be his farewell stage.
