Rodrygo is Real Madrid's sensation, but he was very close to joining Barcelona. According to 'Sport', eight million euros were the difference between him joining Real Madrid and Barca.

Rodrygo is being talked about a lot in the last few hours. His hat-trick against Galatasaray surprised everyone.

The performance of the young Brazilian talent in recent weeks has made the Bernabeu faithful love him. However, he was close to not signing for Real Madrid.

And the thing is Barcelona, when he was playing for Santos, was following the footballer very closely and his signing seemed to be well on course.

According to 'Sport', the arrival of Rodrygo to the Camp Nou was practically done, but it did not materalise because of eight million euros.

According to the information, that was the extra money which Real Madrid offered to persuade the footballer to sign for Real Madrid.

An amount which seems to be laughable now seeing the great future the player has ahead of him.
