Bayern Munich are reportedly eyeing a summer transfer for Real Madrid’s forward Rodrygo. 

The Brazilian star has seen limited action at the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup under Real Madrid’s new manager, Xabi Alonso, sparking speculation about his future at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bayern are in the market for a new left-winger, having previously considered Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams and Liverpool’s Luis Diaz. 

However, Rodrygo’s reduced role in the Club World Cup has shifted the German champions’ attention to the 24-year-old.

They view him as an ideal addition to form a formidable attacking trio alongside Harry Kane and Michael Olise, capable of competing for domestic and European silverware.

The strong ties between Bayern and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, combined with Xabi Alonso’s connections in Germany, could facilitate negotiations if Bayern pursue the deal.

Rodrygo’s pace, versatility, and flair make him a prime target to bolster Bayern’s attack as they aim to reclaim dominance in the Bundesliga and make a strong push in the UEFA Champions League.

While no formal talks have been confirmed, Bayern’s interest signals their ambition to strengthen their squad with high-caliber talent. Rodrygo, who has shown flashes of brilliance at Real Madrid, could benefit from a move to secure regular playing time. 

However, Real Madrid may be reluctant to let go of the young star, especially given his potential to develop into a world-class forward under the right guidance. 

The coming weeks will likely reveal whether Bayern’s interest materializes into a concrete offer or if Rodrygo remains a key part of Real Madrid’s long-term plans.
