Rodrygo to Real Madrid is completed: 45m euros and an imminent announcement Transfer Market Almost identical to Vinicius transfer

As expected, Real Madrid have signed Rodrygo Goes for 45 million euros.

The deal should have been announced this Tuesday, but there wasn't enough time for Santos' board to revise the final draft of the deal.

Formed by nine people and their president, the Brazilian team's managing board have committed to the deal, thus ensuring a transfer that is almost identical Vinicius Junior's.

The player passed a medical last week and had scheduled a press conference to announce his move to Los Blancos, but his agent explained that this didn't take place for administrative reasons.

"There haven't been any issues, this was simply due to the fact that everyone on the managing board had to sign," his manager Nick Arcuri explained.

Rodrygo was scheduled to travel to Rio de Janeiro for Santo's match against Fluminense, however, Arcuri with the team's permission, decided that it would be best if his player didn't risk an injury before signing.

Of the 45m, 40m will go to Santos and the remaining 5m to the player as a bonus.

Even though Rodrygo will turn 18 in January, Santos will keep their star forward until June 2019 when he is scheduled to join Los Blancos.
