Fabrizio Romano: Real Madrid entirely close door for ‘any big player exit’

Real Madrid remain firm in their decision to retain their key players this summer, despite growing interest from Saudi Arabian clubs. 

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has highlighted Saudi Arabia’s admiration for Real Madrid stars, with the Middle Eastern nation eager to lure some of the club’s top talent to their league. 

However, Real Madrid are resolute in their stance and has firmly shut the door on any big-name departures during this transfer window.

At this point, the club is not willing to entertain any offers for their key players. While some younger talents like Nico Paz might be considered for a move, the idea of letting go of established stars is off the table. 

Brazilian trio is wanted the most

There has been much speculation surrounding the future of Real Madrid’s Brazilian trio—Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, and Eder Militao. These players have been at the centre of transfer rumours, with reports suggesting that Saudi clubs are particularly keen on securing their services. 

Vinicius and Militao, in particular, have attracted significant interest, with offers on the table that could potentially make Vinicius the highest-paid footballer in history.

Despite the lucrative proposals, Real Madrid has made it clear that they have no intention of parting ways with their star players.

In fact, Real Madrid recently turned down a staggering offer exceeding €100 million for Eder Militao from a Saudi club. The decision to reject this bid is not surprising, given the club’s current situation. 

As for Rodrygo, rumours have been swirling about a potential move to Manchester City, particularly in light of Julian Alvarez’s speculated transfer to Atletico Madrid. 

However, Rodrygo’s representatives have been quick to dismiss these claims, affirming that the striker is fully committed to Real Madrid and has no plans to leave this summer. 

Lastly, Dani Ceballos has also been linked with a move away from the club. Despite the ongoing rumours, Ceballos has made it clear that he is not considering an exit. 

He is fully committed to Real Madrid and is determined to fight for his place in the squad. His resolve to stay is a reflection of the loyalty and dedication that many of the club’s players share.
