A page seems to turn to the Auriverde winger. Relegated to the background since taking office of Xabi Alonso, Rodrygo only played a minor role during the Club World Cup. A symbolic decline for a player who was, for several seasons, one of the most reliable elements of Real Madrid. And the signals are now clear: the Merengue management would be open to a sale, aware of the interest it arouses on the market.

Rodrygo, towards an unexpected transfer to the Bundesliga?

If the Premier League seemed to hold the rope, a name has immersed itself in the race: Bayern Munich. And it was none other than Giovane Elber, an emblematic figure of the Bavarian club, which launched the call. The former Brazilian international believes that Rodrygo would be an ideal recruit, as much for his qualities in the field as for his ability to weld a cloakroom. In Munich, the search for an offensive winger intensified after failures on Wirtz and Nico Williams files.

For Elber, “Rodrygo is an essential player. He has the level, attitude, and above all, he knows the very high European level. »» Bayern, in search of renewal after an unstable season, could therefore strike a blow. Especially since English competition, although still present, has not yet made a firm offer. A departure in Germany would relaunch the player's career and offer Munich an additional profile in an offensive sector in recomposition.

Can Real remember Rodrygo?

A loyalty to Real Madrid called into question

A few days ago, Rodrygo claims his attachment to the Madrid club. He claimed to want to leave only if the club meant his departure directly. This position today seems to evolve under the pressure of the market and the sporting context. The winger has never really found his place under the orders of Alonso, and the prospect of a new project, in a large European club, may well convince him to change the air.

If Rodrygo were to join Bayern, this would clarify several balances. For Real, it would be a significant financial operation in a summer marked by ambitious recruitments. For the player, a new starting point at 23 years old. And for Bayern, an offensive gamble of experience, likely to energize the Bundesliga. It remains to be seen whether the German leaders will transform Elber's call into a concrete offensive.
