Real Madrid have extended the contract of their Brazilian sensation, Rodrygo, securing his services until the summer of 2028.

The groundwork for this extension was laid in July last year, with Rodrygo’s previous contract set to expire in 2025. In this fresh agreement, the 22-year-old’s remuneration has been elevated, along with the staggering ascent of his release clause, now standing at a jaw-dropping ‚¬1 billion.

The official announcement was made via Real Madrid’s social media channels, igniting a buzz among football aficionados worldwide. Rodrygo, acquired from Santos for ‚¬45 million in 2018 and integrated into Real Madrid’s squad in 2019, epitomizes Los Blancos’ unswerving dedication to nurturing young talents.

The club’s strategy revolves around identifying and securing players with extraordinary potential before their market value soars beyond reach. During his short but illustrious stint of just over four seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu, Rodrygo has amassed an impressive trophy haul, clinching eight titles.

These accolades include the coveted UEFA Champions League, two La Liga crowns, and a Copa del Rey triumph.
