One Premier League side has reportedly pulled out of the race to sign Real Madrid star Rodrygo.
Rodrygo, 24, came through the youth system at Brazilian club Santos before impressing Spanish La Liga side Madrid.
In 2019, the Brazilian made a move to Spain and has since scored 68 goals in 270 matches for Los Blancos.
However, Rodrygo has recently been linked with a move away from the Bernabeu after falling down new boss Xabi Alonso's pecking order.

So far, the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have all been linked with the 24-year-old.
During the recent FIFA Club World Cup, Rodrygo started the first match against Al Hilal before being dropped to the bench by Alonso.
Last month, it was revealed by journalist Ben Jacobs that Arsenal are genuinely interested in Rodrygo.
He wrote: "Arsenal hold a genuine interest in Rodrygo and have held exploratory talks on the player side dating back to May. Understand Real Madrid want around €90m."

Meanwhile, journalist Matt Law has recently said that Chelsea are unlikely to make a move due to Rodrygo's wages.
He said on the London Is Blue podcast: "The Rodrygo thing I never really saw as a goer. He is on huge wages and wants even bigger wages to move.
"I think there's a massive fear among European clubs of committing to the sort of money it would take to sign Rodrygo. Because if it goes wrong... we've talked about Chelsea being able to sell well as their wages are at a certain level."

Law continued: "If it goes wrong with Rodrygo, you're stuck with an enormous problem. Chelsea already have a problem in [Raheem] Sterling this summer.
"It doesn't really fit with what Chelsea have been doing well and Chelsea have had success with to go and sign Rodrygo. I don't see Rodrygo [signing], and I never have."
So far this summer, the Blues have signed Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Estevao, Dario Essugo, Mamadou Sarr and Kendry Paez.
