Teenage Brazilian Sensation Rodrygo Expected to Join Real Madrid Next Summer Despite January Reports

Reports suggesting Brazil Under-20 starlet Rodrygo Goes will be linking up with Real Madrid in January may be premature, with a summer 2019 move more likely.

Los Blancos completed a deal for the attacking starlet in summer but allowed the player to remain with his current club Santos for another season.

Rumours began to emerge that Real Madrid were looking to fast-track that deal, seeing the player arrive when the window opens up again in January. However, Rodrygo is set to represent Brazil at the South American Under-20 Championships in Chile between the 17 January and 10 February.
