Real Madrid Extends Brazilian Winger Rodrygo's Contract to 2028

Rodrygo's new contract includes an elevated release clause of one billion euros, securing the player's key role after scoring 39 goals in 179 appearances and helping secure eight trophies for the club.

Overview

  • Real Madrid has extended the contract of Brazilian winger Rodrygo until the 2027-28 season. Rodrygo's current contract was set to end in 2025.
  • Rodrygo joined Real Madrid in 2019 from Brazilian club Santos with a reported transfer fee of nearly 45 million euros ($47.8 million).
  • The 22-year-old player has scored 39 goals in 179 appearances for Real Madrid, winning eight trophies, including the Champions League and two Spanish league titles.
  • Rodrygo's contract extension is a recent boost for Real Madrid that comes two days after the club announced a contract extension for another Brazilian forward, Vinícius Júnior, until the 2026-27 season.
  • The new contract includes a billion-euro ($1.06 billion) release clause, as part of Real Madrid's strategy to protect its top talents from the financial power of other European and Saudi Arabian clubs.
