Barcelona is interested in Real Madrid's forward Rodrygo, as reported by Brazilian UOL Esporte. Rodrygo is unhappy with his status at Real and is considering leaving. Barcelona has informed Rodrygo's agents that they want to start negotiations if he decides to leave Madrid.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta is keen on signing Rodrygo in the upcoming summer transfer window. According to a report by E-Noticies, Laporta is reportedly making efforts to bring Rodrygo to Barcelona. It is said that Rodrygo is not satisfied with his situation at Madrid, as he has experienced limited playing time, initially under Carlo Ancelotti last season and later under Alonso during the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. He is eager to play as a left-winger. However, a transfer is deemed unlikely due to the rivalry between the clubs and financial constraints. Madrid president Florentino Perez is reportedly hesitant to approve the transfer, especially since Barcelona, who are their main rivals, have recently outperformed Madrid in the LaLiga title race and the Copa del Rey final.
