Real Madrid surprised its fans by moving to renew the contract of Brazilian winger Rodrygo, despite recent news about the possibility of his departure in the upcoming summer transfer market.

Previous reports indicated that Rodrygo is unhappy with his current situation with the team and wishes to explore new experiences, amid interest from several major clubs, notably Arsenal and Manchester City.

Rodrygo's current contract with Real Madrid extends until the summer of 2028, but the website "Football Spain" revealed today, Tuesday, that the royal club's management is seeking to extend his contract until 2030, according to sources within the club.

The report confirmed that Real Madrid considers Rodrygo part of its long-term plans and views him as an important element in the upcoming sports project, thus striving to ensure his continued presence within the team.

However, Rodrygo will not finalize his decision regarding his future until his role with the team is determined, which requires direct talks with the new head coach, Xabi Alonso.
