It is an earthquake that has shaken Madrid since the resounding slap received against PSG (0-4) during the semi-final of the 2025 World Cup. While the Merengue thought of imposing their world supremacy, it was the Parisian club that delivered afootball lesson– And in this explosive context, an attempted shock transfer has just been revealed.
🔁 Real ready to let go of Rodrygo for Mendes
According to several sources close to the file, Florentino Pérez would have validated an offer ofRodrygo Goes + financial compensationTo attach the services ofNuno Mendes, currently considered asThe best left side in the world. The Portuguese player, recently crowned in the Champions League with PSG and League nations with Portugal, would have caught the eye of the Madrid management – especially after havingcompletely muzzled the attack on Casa Blancaduring 0-4.
🎯 The target is clear: strengthen the left corridor with a young player, explosive, and already ultra-decisive in major meetings. And for that, Real Madrid is ready to separate from an important name: Rodrygo, a framework of the locker room, but whose impact remains judgedirregularOn the past season.

But on the PSG side? It is theabsolute. According to daily informationThe team, the Parisian management would simply haveignoredThe Madrid proposal, claiming “not being on the market” and having “no intention of entering negotiations, especially after the recent demonstration.”
💬 A close to the club would have even let go of a scathing way:
“We don’t barter here. Nuno is intransferable, no matter what is put in front. It is not a game of vignettes exchange.”
This attitude, although implicit, is seen by many observers as awell -felt stolenIn response to Madrid pretension. And some PSG fans did not hesitate to ironize online:
“They want to exchange a player who has not even seen the light of day against us, against our monster of the left corridor? Good joke! Ical”
🔥 The context: a Real weakened, a PSG in full peak
This transfer, or rather this aborted attempt, says a lot about theperiod of uncertaintythat Real Madrid crosses. Tactical sinking against PSG has highlightedserious flaws, especially on the wings, where Mendes and Hakimi have literallydemolished the defensive structureof Xabi Alonso.
Conversely, PSG seemsget in his golden age, combining power, tactical solidity and a sharp collective. And in this momentum,None of their holders seem available– Especially not a nuno Mendes, now considered asA centerpiece of the Parisian project.
⏳ AND NOW ?
Real Madrid will visibly have to look elsewhere. But this aborted attempt leaves a bitter taste in Madrid, andabove all reveals a change in status: it is no longer real that dictates the rules, butThe PSG who chooses who is approaching … or not.
