Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly shown interest in Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, according to Diario AS. The rumor claims chairman Daniel Levy is preparing a bid of around €90 million. However, no official offer has been made. Rodrygo is valued closer to €100 million, and Real Madrid would reportedly consider a sale if the player expresses a desire to leave.
Rodrygo’s future has become uncertain following the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, with Vinícius Júnior also a locked-in starter on the left. The Brazilian, under contract through 2028, has scored 68 goals and provided 51 assists since joining the team in 2019. His minutes declined last season as younger talents like Arda Güler and Endrick emerged. With high wages and growing competition, Madrid may be open to moving him.
Other clubs monitoring the situation
Liverpool have reportedly opened talks with Rodrygo’s camp as a fallback option if Bayern Munich secure Luis Díaz. Arsenal and Chelsea have also been mentioned, although their interest appears to be limited. Bayern, for their part, have made no move and consider Rodrygo more of a fan fantasy than a real target.
Despite the headlines, Tottenham’s rumored pursuit is viewed with skepticism. Sky Germany‘s Florian Plettenberg dismissed the story outright, stating Rodrygo is “not a target for Spurs.” No club has officially contacted Madrid about him, reinforcing the sense that this is more speculation than substance.
Fan and media reactions
On social media, the response was largely dismissive. Spurs fans on Reddit and Twitter joked about the rumor, with one comparing it to “dating Margot Robbie” in terms of likelihood. Observers highlighted Rodrygo’s high wages—around £170,000 per week—and his likely desire to stay in the Champions League. Tottenham, currently outside those spots, would also face overlap with Son Heung-min, who plays in Rodrygo’s preferred position.
While the link may reflect Tottenham’s ambition under new manager Thomas Frank, most view the rumor as far-fetched. Unless Rodrygo actively pushes for an exit and lowers his demands, this transfer feels more like noise than a real possibility.
