Completely unlikely and never gonna happen transfer

[Ragatino]

Rodrygo from Real Madrid

It's the worst kept secret in European football that he's unhappy at his position at Real since MBappe arrived.

?100m / ?85m

We do need a Right Winger. He's got 2 good fellow full Brazilian internationals in Newcastle United First team.

He's not a big time charlie , always comes across as a decent fella, in the grand scheme of things.

The Shirt sales, Commercial revenues and other associated incomes from signing a proper global football Super Star would go some way to paying off that massive transfer fee.

Also, what a statement of intent that would be for the club. Signing a Real Madridista in his prime. He's 24 yrs old.

It won't happen. Despite him being the perfect profile, age, talent etc I just don't see the club investing that amount of money in one player.

However. That front 3.

Gordon-Isak-Rodrygo

Joelintom-Tonali-Bruno

Backed up by that midfield.

Hall-Botman-Guehi-Liveramento

Trafford

That's a title challenging team.

Also we need to bring in players with Champions League experience. Not just playing in it but being experienced in the later stages, understanding the pressure and thriving under those conditions.

Tripz's experience have seen us win our first cup in 70 yrs.

Whilst Mbuemo is an excellent player. He can go on to be a decorated UCL player in time but at 25 he's a year old and have zero UCL experience.

That is, I guess, why, Mbuemo is valued at ?55-60m & Rodrygo is valued at ?85m.

If Brentford want north of ?60m, I'd absolutely consider Rodrygo a better option.

Rodrygo's wages are ?205/week.

However, as mentioned, the commercials around the shirt sales and sponsorship deals that would be attracted to the club would off set it.

I doubt it's even a consideration for club, However, City had their Robinho/super star moment.
We will need to take that next step up. Certainly Rodrygo isn't Robinho and we'd not be gazumping another club to steal his signature.

If NUFC could get him on a Loan to Buy based on re-qualification to the UCL 26/27 season (two in a row - after next season) that might be doable financially.
