Xabi Alonso is often at the heart of these rumors, but relationships between some players also seem strained.
Rodrygo Goes is also the subject of much speculation, particularly regarding his future at Real Madrid. The 24-year-old could have left this summer, but even while remaining at the club, he is struggling to establish himself at the Bernabéu, which has reignited rumors of a possible departure.
At the same time, a video published on the official Instagram account of the Seleção, in which he appears tense with his teammate from Real Madrid and the Brazilian selection, Éder Militão, was broadcast. We see the two men barely shaking hands, upon their arrival at the national team training camp.
Tensions among the Brazilians of Real
These images have not yet been clarified by the two players, but in the meantime the situation is worrying for Real Madrid fans, who hope that Alonso’s team will manage to maintain good understanding despite a difficult period after two consecutive defeats against Liverpool and Rayo Vallecano. If a dispute exists between the two players, the club hopes it will be resolved by the time they return to the Spanish capital next week.
Will Rodrygo leave Real Madrid in 2026?
Even without this incident, Rodrygo has caused a lot of ink to flow in recent weeks. A departure from Real Madrid in the next two years seems increasingly likely, as he certainly won’t be able to dislodge Vinicius Junior from the starting XI that Alonso wants.
A move to the Premier League is the most likely hypothesis, given that several major English clubs were interested in him during the 2025 summer transfer window. But for now, he remains a Real Madrid player.
