The Brazilian winger was expected to join the Premier League throughout the summer, Manchester City and Liverpool being interested in his recruitment. However, after having been titular last week, he is satisfied with his role and decided not to leave Santiago Bernabéu.
Rodrygo wants to stay in Madrid
Rodrygo will not play in the Premier League this summer
Rodrygo was strongly expected to leave Real Madrid during the summer transfer window, after his disgrace under the direction of the new coach Xabi Alonso. The Brazilian practically did not participate in the Club World Cup in the United States and was then left on the bench during the club's first liga match against Osasuna, which fueled the rumors of a possible departure from Real.
At one point, it seemed that Rodrygo could join the Premier League, giants like Manchester City and Liverpool wishing to integrate it into their workforce. The arrival of Franco Mastanuno at the club also led to a new fall in Rodrygo in the hierarchy. However, Marca now reports that the winger decided to stay at the Spanish club after finally gaining the confidence of Xabi Alonso. The 24 -year -old was holder in the second match of the Merengues season against Oviedo last week.
Rodrygo wanted to obtain regular playing time this season to regain the confidence of Carlo Ancelotti and appear as Brazil's national team during the 2026 World Cup. For the moment, he has decided to stay, but he could opt for a departure in January if he is not offered the desired opportunity in the coming months.
