Real Madrid forward Rodrygo is reportedly on the verge of signing a new long-term contract with the Spanish giants.

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo is reportedly set to commit his long-term future to the club.

Los Blancos have already announced one new contract extension this week after Vinicius Junior signed a fresh deal on Tuesday.

The Brazil international, who joined the club as an 18-year-old, penned a new four-year deal, which will keep him at the Santiago Bernabeu until the summer of 2027.

After securing the long-term future of one Brazilian forward, Real Madrid are set to confirm an extension for Vinicius' compatriot.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the 14-time European champions have reached an agreement with Rodrygo to extend his stay with the club.

The 22-year-old currently has less than two years left to run on his current deal, which expires at the end of the 2024-25 season.

However, Rodrygo is set to put pen to paper on a new long-term contract, extending his stay with the Spanish side until June 2028.

With an agreement in place between the two parties, the player's new contract is expected to be announced on Thursday.

As is common practice in Spanish football, Rodrygo will have a significant release clause in his contract, which is said to be €1b (£871m).

Rodrygo has been at the Santiago Bernabeu since July 2019 after arriving from Brazilian club Santos, where he rose through the youth ranks.

During his time with Los Blancos, the attacker has made 179 competitive appearances, scoring 39 goals and providing 33 assists.

The Brazilian, who has earned 18 caps for his country, has won multiple honours with Real Madrid, including two La Liga titles and a Champions League trophy.

Rodrygo has started 12 of Real Madrid's 15 competitive matches this season, and he is expected to be involved in Sunday's home meeting with Rayo Vallecano.
