The Brazilian international admitted that he had lacked form and confidence in the last weeks of last season, before Carlo Ancelotti left at the end of the season.
After the elimination of the Merengues in the semi-finals of the FIFA club World Cup, following a 4-0 defeat against PSG, winner of the UEFA Champions League, the future of Rodrygo has become crucial.
Alonso has always denied rumors that the club was planning to sell its number 11, with the possibility of an offer of 100 million euros from the Premier League.

Rodrygo had been open to offers this summer, but his position changed as the transfer deadline approaches in early September. Paris Saint-Germain could have put this possibility to the test, since Fabrizio Romano (via MD) revealed that the reigning European champions had transfer intentions for the Brazilian.
Rodrygo leaves, Real holds him
The situation has appealed for the next few months at least, but if Alonso's plans remain on the sidelines, it is possible for it to leave in 2026. Manchester City should retain its interest in its services, and this interest could be rekindled in January.
Bayern Munich could also return to the race, according to Marca, who says that Real Madrid immediately rejected an offer from the Bavarians this summer.
The news indicates that an “intermediary and an agent were dispatched to contact Real Madrid” in order to assess his desire to negotiate an agreement.
The traveling teams were quickly informed of the lack of agreement at the end of August, Alonso wishing to remain open -minded about Rodrygo, but the situation is far from being settled.
Of seven liga games played so far in 2025/26, Rodrygo has only holded one, with four appearances as a replacement, and no goal scored.
