Florentino Pérez has greenlit potential exits for two key stars as Madrid faces a summer reset—valuing Rodrygo at €150M and Brahim Díaz at €75M, but only if they push to leave.
Full Story:
Following a season marred by setbacks—including losses to Barcelona in both the Supercopa and Copa del Rey, plus a Champions League quarterfinal exit to Arsenal—Real Madrid is preparing for drastic summer decisions.
Despite publicly maintaining a desire to keep both Rodrygo (24) and Brahim Díaz (25), the club is privately open to negotiations—at a premium—if either player expresses discontent with a reduced role under the new Mbappé-Vinícius-Bellingham hierarchy.
Rodrygo asking price: €150 million
Brahim Díaz asking price: €75 million
These two are seen as valuable assets in their prime years, but minutes will become scarce with the current attacking lineup. Their ambition to start regularly and dream of winning a World Cup might lead them away from Madrid.
Pérez’s stance:
Won’t sell unless players request a move
Any exit must meet the club’s high valuation
No replacements unless a dramatic shift occurs
This move aligns with Xabi Alonso’s reported preference to strengthen midfield and defense rather than overload an already elite attack.
Implication:
If either star exits, it could reshape not just Madrid’s rotation, but the entire European transfer market—with clubs like Manchester City, PSG, and Chelsea monitoring Rodrygo, while Brahim could attract attention from Serie A or La Liga contenders
