Two Premier League teams are interested in signing Rodrygo, but Real Madrid have placed a club record price tag on the player.
Rodrygo is available for transfer this summer after falling down the pecking order at Madrid, and failing to impress new manager Xabi Alonso so far.

Nicolo Schira reports that two Premier League clubs are interested in signing Rodrygo this summer, although he doesn't name who.
Diario AS claim that one of the two clubs who want Rodrygo are Premier League champions Liverpool.
Arsenal have been interested to sign Rodrygo but the imminent signing of Noni Madueke for €58 million plus add-ons would suggest they are no longer in for him.
Rodrygo record sale?
Any buyer will have to spend heavily to sign Rodrygo as Schira claims that Madrid are demanding €120-130m to sell the attacker.
That would make Rodrygo the record sale in Real Madrid's history.
The current most expensive sale of all time by Madrid was Cristiano Ronaldo when he joined Juventus for €117m in 2018.
AS reports that Rodrygo will demand a salary of €12 million net per season at his next club, making the transfer even more expensive.
Rodrygo has been heavily linked with an exit from Real Madrid this summer in order to find first-team football.
The signing of Kylian Mbappe last summer saw the Brazilian's status within the squad diminish.
With the focus on Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham it has proven hard to find star status and space.
And at the Club World Cup it seems he has fallen even further down the pecking order.
Rodrygo at Real Madrid
Rodrygo joined Real Madrid from Santos for €40 million in the summer of 2019.
The 24-year-old has gone on to make 267 appearances for Real Madrid over the last five seasons, scoring 68 goals.
He has often been used as substitute but has proved a crucial member of the squad in La Liga and the Champions League.
He most famously impacted Madrid’s 2022 Champions League triumph.
He scored key goals in the quarter final win over Chelsea and the dramatic late comeback victory over Man City in the semi final.
Rodrygo scored in the 89th and 91st minute in the second leg over City to take the game into extra time which Madrid won. The Blancos then lifted the cup in the final.
His contract expires in June 2028.
