Brazilian forward Rodrygo extends Real Madrid contract until June 2028
Real Madrid's Brazil forward Rodrygo (22) has signed a contract extension until 2028, the LaLiga club announced on Thursday.
The Brazilian joined Real in 2019 from Santos for a reported fee of 45 million euros ($47.77 million) with his original contract running until 2025.
"Real Madrid CF and Rodrygo have agreed a contract extension for the player (Rodrygo), who will remain at the club until 30 June 2028," Real said in a statement.
Rodrygo has scored 39 goals in 179 appearances for Real and won eight trophies, including two league titles, a Champions League and a Club World Cup.
Media reports say the new contract has a reported release clause of one billion euros ($1.06 billion).
The announcement comes two days after fellow Brazilian Vinicius Jr extended his contract at Real until 2027.
