Football Transfer News: Real Madrid offers Rodrygo Silva de a new contract until 2028
Rodrygo Silva de has signed a new long-term contract with Real Madrid, which will keep him at the club until 2028. Los Blancos were obligated to upgrade and prolong the teenage forward's contract, which was set to expire in 2025
Rodrygo Silva De, popularly known as Rodrygo, was instrumental in Real Madrid's recent Champions League victory, scoring critical goals against Chelsea in the quarterfinals before striking a crucial brace late in the semifinals against Manchester City.
Last season, the 21-year-old played a crucial role in Carlo Ancelotti's side, helping them restore their place at the top of Spanish football with victories and trophies in La Liga and the Champions League.
Rodrygo's semifinal second leg double against Manchester City saved Madrid's waning prospects in the closing minutes, forcing a successful extra-time battle against Pep Guardiola's club, and those critical contributions are now likely to be rewarded.
What will Rodrygo Silva de gain from the new contract?
The Blancos are preparing to give their star new terms that would keep him at the club for an additional three seasons, with a new six-year contract through 2028 in the works.
Furthermore, he is set to earn a significant wage raise, elevating him to the pay range of Madrid's mid-tier players.
Though he will be placed behind some of their biggest stars, it is a statement that the club has a long-term commitment to and believe in Rodrygo's abilities.
Rodrygo is not the only player who has signed new terms in the capital this summer. Eder Militao also likely to receive a significant salary increase in his new contract.
It will be a test of trust for the Brazilian defender, who was one of the unsung heroes of the team's comeback to silverware last season.
Éder Militao renews with Real Madrid
Real Madrid's contract renewals continue. Modric was first, then Vinicius, then Rodrygo, and now Éder Militao has joined the contract extension train.
The centre-back and Real Madrid's leaders have agreed to upgrade and extend their contract until 2028. The termination clause will be set at 1,000 million euros, as it has been in prior renewals.
The Madrid leadership wanted to celebrate his development by signing a pact that would keep him with Real Madrid until 2028.
The negotiations began in March of last year and had only recently concluded.
Real Madrid will secure the continuity of the backbone for the next five years with these three decisions, the next one being Lunin's new contract, without forgetting the commitment to Benzema, plus the ones made in his day with Valverde or Courtois.
On the other hand, long-serving Wales international Gareth Bale has moved to MLS with LAFC in what will be a midseason swap for the California club.
