Real Madrid has solidified the future of Brazilian winger Rodrygo Goes, as the 22-year-old has committed to a new five-year contract extension, binding him to the Bernabeu until 2028.
This agreement follows closely on the heels of fellow Brazilian talent Vinicius Junior, who recently signed a four-year extension, affirming his loyalty to Los Blancos.
Rodrygo originally joined Madrid from Santos in a €45 million transfer deal in 2019, amassing 179 appearances for the club and netting 39 goals. While not always a guaranteed starter, he has played a pivotal role in Madrid’s recent triumphs, including securing titles in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
His exceptional skills and contributions to the team were further highlighted when he scored twice against Osasuna in May, securing another Copa del Rey title for the club. Despite his youth, Rodrygo has already amassed an impressive collection of medals during his time at the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid’s commitment to securing Rodrygo’s long-term future underscores their determination to maintain a strong squad. Both Rodrygo and Vinicius are poised to play crucial roles for Madrid in the years ahead. With their electrifying speed, creative flair, and goal-scoring prowess, they are likely to continue terrorizing opposing defenses in domestic and European competitions for Los Blancos.
