Real Madrid enters a new era with Xabi Alonso at the controls, and already a first puzzle is essential to him. The former Bayer Leverkusen coach must deal with an overloaded locker room in offensive talent. The future of Rodrygo (24) crystallizes attention on the side of the Spanish capital.
The past few weeks have not pleaded in favor of the Brazilian. The Spanish press assures that Real Madrid, aware that it will not be able to make all its stars live, is ready to open the door to a departure from Rodrygo. The latter, under contract until 2028, has always hammered his desire to stay at the club and to continue his quest for titles with the White House.
However, fierce competition and uncertain playing time could eventually change it. According to Cadena Ser, the Madrid club has also set a price for the attacker: 90 million euros. Real, in the event of sale, would intend to reinvest part of this windfall in the recruitment of a midfielder claimed by Xabi Alonso.
Arsenal wants Rodrygo
Still according to the same source, Arsenal very closely monitors the file. The Gunners would be ready to take action once the Madrid management has formalized its desire to sell. Other English clubs such as Chelsea, Manchester United or Liverpool have also been mentioned in the past among the suitors.
While the pre-season started timidly for Rodrygo, a holder against Al-Hilal but stayed on the bench against Pachuca on the sidelines of the Club World Cup, her future seems more uncertain than ever. Real has now ajar the door, it remains to be seen whether the player, so far determined to stay, will agree to cross it. The soap is relaunched in Madrid.
