Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso protested the lack of dynamism of Rodrygo Goes after his absence on the bench during the Liga opening match against Osasuna.

The Basque coach assured that he was still counting on him, but the acts are more eloquent than the words.

His absence on the bench against Osasuna allowed Real Madrid only one tenure in his last 13 games, more than half of which under the direction of Alonso. The Brazilian was strongly expected to join the Premier League, after seeming to be preceded by Franco Mastantuono, Arda Guller and Brahim Diaz in the hierarchy.

Pini Zahavi goes to London to meet Liverpool and Arsenal

According to Indykaila, agent Pini Zahavi arrived in London on Wednesday. Rodrygo’s agent is his father, Eric Goes, but Zahavi, who also represents Robert Lewandowski, has been working with Rodrygo since the start of the summer. According to some information, he was also in Liverpool on Friday to attend the Reds 4-2 victory against Bournemouth in Anfield.

Zahavi would have asked interviews with Liverpool and Arsenal to discuss a transfer for Rodrygo. It had previously been reported that Arsenal would only recruit it in the event of sale, even if their plans on the transfer market may have changed following the injury of Kai Havertz, according to The Athletic. Liverpool has quoted Rodrygo as an alternative if the transfer of Alexander Isak fails.

Manchester City off -running

However, it seems that he will not go to Manchester City. Rodrygo was envisaged as an option if Savio Moreira was leaving for Tottenham Hotspur. But Savio remaining at Etihad, they are no longer looking for a winger.

The Merengues would be open to a sale for Rodrygo and would like to receive around 100 million euros for its signature. The 24 -year -old, who does not seem to have a role in playing Real Madrid, is also open to a transfer.
