Real Madrid Transfer Update (7/11/2025): Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr Heading for the Exit?

Gilabola.com – The inclusion of the names Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr in the latest Real Madrid transfer rumors has again raised big question marks about the future of Xabi Alonso’s squad.

Rodrygo is starting to feel uncomfortable, Tottenham is scouting again

Talks about Rodrygo’s move resurfaced after the Brazilian winger felt dissatisfied with the playing minutes he was getting. Last summer, a move to another club was very close, although it ultimately fell through.

Now, Tottenham Hotspur is back on standby, while Arsenal and Liverpool are also ready to compete for the 24 year old player. Rodrygo is said to be available in the January transfer window, opening up the opportunity for Premier League clubs to invade more quickly.

Guardiola is desperate to bring in Vinicius Jr

Another big name that is starting to heat up the rumors is Vinicius Jr. Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola, is reportedly very determined to bring the Brazilian winger to the Etihad.

Vinicius’ contract is still valid until 2027, but the 25-year-old player is said to be not yet willing to sign a contract extension. If this situation continues, Real Madrid could open the way to selling him in the summer, especially since there is interest from Saudi Pro League clubs, who often dare to offer large transfer amounts.

Real Madrid Still Looking for a Defender, Micky van de Ven is a Dream Target

Even though they brought in Dean Huijsen last summer, Real Madrid felt their back line still needed additional strength. Club president, Florentino Perez, has even identified an ideal name from the Premier League: Micky van de Ven.

The 24-year-old Tottenham centre-back is considered a dream target. Interestingly, Spurs’ interest in Rodrygo could pave the way to a deal in 2026, although this is still just initial speculation.

Real Madrid Left Behind in the Hunt for Marc Guehi

Madrid’s hopes of bringing in Marc Guehi seem to be fading. The Crystal Palace defender is actually getting closer to Liverpool and Bayern Munich, who are now leading the race.

Guehi is in the final year of his contract and was close to joining Liverpool last summer, but failed negotiations gave Madrid hope. Unfortunately, this opportunity is now increasingly slim.

Interest in Saliba and Declan Rice

Arsenal still have to be on guard because Real Madrid are also reportedly continuing to monitor William Lintasa, as well as showing interest in their star midfielder, Declan Rice.

If Madrid really makes concrete steps, Rice’s transfer fee will clearly not be cheap, considering that Arsenal bought him in 2024 for US$130 million, equivalent to around IDR 2.14 trillion.
