Real Madrid agree Rodrygo deal with Santos Transfer Market He will cost 45 million euros

Real Madrid have agreed with Santos a 45 million euro move for winger Rodrygo who has been the star of the first six months of the Brazilian season.

With the team not playing well, the appearance of Rodrygo has come at the right time for Santos who in recent weeks had tried to raise his buy-out clause to 100 million euros, but Madrid have beaten them to it with the agreement.

With Real aware of the greater financial power of teams that have big money backers behind them, they have to move quickly in the market as they did with Vinicius, who will join up with Madrid this summer.

The agreement has now been made over Rodrygo which leaves Barcelona without a player that they were also looking at, and the Catalan side's disagreement with Santos over Neymar's move certainly helped see Real become the protagonist in the signing.

After the player gaves his consent, Madrid spoke to the Santos president Jose Carlos Peres to close the deal.
