Rodrygo's escape route? PSG plot bid for Brazil attacker as Real Madrid future remains uncertain under Xabi Alonso

Paris Saint-Germain are keen on adding one more dimension to their already phenomenal attack, with head coach Luis Enrique pushing the club to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid. The former Santos prodigy has struggled for minutes since the arrival of Alonso, featuring for just 23 minutes in the past three games after featuring in the starting lineup against Al-Hilal for Alonso's managerial debut at the club.

Even with an impressive attacking arsenal, Les Parisiens have no intention of stopping there. Enrique aims to add new blood to the attack. He believes that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, and Bradley Barcola will not be enough to carry the load of a full season, especially with the string of matches and the constant risk of injury. Striker Goncalo Ramos, although useful, is not in his plans for the big games. Hence, the idea of adding a new attacking weapon.

According to Fichajes, Rodrygo is still on PSG's radar. The Brazilian is going through uncertain times at Real Madrid, where Alonso does not seem to be giving him a central role in his plans despite stating that he would be an important player. He has played only 88 minutes since the start of the Club World Cup. This situation is prompting PSG to make a move. The 24-year-old is versatile, mature despite his young age, and already has significant experience in the Champions League.

Enrique rates him highly for his mobility and ability to play in several positions in attack. He sees him as the perfect addition to the options already available in the squad. PSG are, therefore, ready to make a serious move.

Nothing will be easy. Madrid, even if willing to listen to offers, have no intention of selling for less than €80 million. And Los Blancos know they will have no trouble driving up the price. Arsenal are also keeping a close eye on the player. The Gunners dream of pairing Rodrygo with Viktor Gyokeres, another transfer target if Sporting CP let him go. But with renewed financial power and a European title under their belt, PSG have some serious arguments to convince the player and his club.
