Brazilian forward set to sign contract extension with Real Madrid soon

Rodrygo has established himself as one of the cornerstones of the Real Madrid attack over the last few seasons.

His electrifying cameos off the bench soon helped bring his tremendous goalscoring threat to light, and the Galacticos now view the 22-year-old as a key figure in their long-term project.

The 23/24 season has not quite started on such a high note for him, however, with the forward scoring just once in his twelve appearances across all competitions so far this season.

However, the Brazilian still remains on course to sign a contract extension with Madrid, with his current deal expiring in 2025

Madrid unconcerned about Rodrygo’s form

According to Fabrizio Romano, Los Blancos are not concerned about Rodrygo’s dip in form.

They reportedly believe that these highs and lows are normal for a top player, and they continue to trust in his calibre.

As such, his contract extension is only a matter of time and the player is also ready to commit his future to the Spanish giants, with just the official announcement pending.

The situation is quite comical, as reports surfaced midway through last year that Rodrygo had signed a new deal that kept him at Madrid till 2028, but the club never made an official announcement.

A similar case to Eder Militao and Vini Jr, with the latter’s contract extension being reported in July this year, but no official announcement ever followed.

It is believed that since Vini’s current contract is expiring at the end of this season, the priority is to seal his renewal.

Once that announcement is made, the rest will follow rapidly as Madrid aim to have Vini and Rodrygo as their attacking stalwarts for the future.
