Real Madrid winger Rodrygo Goes is facing a pivotal decision. Tottenham Hotspur have made a significant offer, promising to make him their highest-paid player, a tempting proposition considering Son Heung-min's potential departure to LAFC. However, Rodrygo appears hesitant, with reports suggesting he's 'dragging his feet' and prefers a move to a Premier League rival.
While Spurs' ambitious summer spending spree, totaling £122 million on new signings like Mohammed Kudus and Mathys Tel, signals their intent, Rodrygo's interest is lukewarm. Liverpool and Arsenal remain strong contenders, although Arsenal's reported full agreement with Eberechi Eze might shift their focus. Liverpool, engrossed in their pursuit of Alexander Isak, may only turn to Rodrygo if their Luis Diaz replacement plan falters.
The situation is further complicated by conflicting reports. Some sources indicate Rodrygo is 'open' to the Tottenham move, while others suggest he's waiting to see if Liverpool's interest solidifies. The possibility of replacing the Bayern Munich-bound Luis Diaz at Liverpool remains a considerable incentive for the Real Madrid star.
Tottenham's strategy relies heavily on Son Heung-min's potential exit. Their offer to make Rodrygo their highest earner, surpassing Son's £190,000 weekly wage and James Maddison's £170,000, underscores their determination. But ultimately, Rodrygo's decision hinges on weighing the allure of a lucrative contract at Spurs against the potential of joining a Champions League-contending club like Liverpool or Arsenal.
