The future of Rodrygo Goes seems to have taken a slight turn in recent hours. It has already become clear that for Xabi Alonso, he is a secondary player who will not have the opportunities and continuity he has enjoyed so far. Interest from the Premier League suggests that the player will end up in English football at the start of the season, but the Brazilian is unclear about his destination.
Rodrygo and his departure from Real Madrid
Although Real Madrid are keeping quiet, the truth is that they would welcome Rodrygo‘s departure from the team. Any false move by the board could lower the price of a player they hope to cash in on, around €80-100 million, so the club is waiting for other clubs or the player himself to make the first move.
Xabi Alonso made this clear at the Club World Cup. He is counting on the player, but the pitch has not been kind to him. He has barely played, and when he has, his performances have been below the level he showed years ago in the team.
The club believes that his role in the team next season is now clear, especially with the arrival in August of Mastantuono, one of the club’s big bets for the future of the team.
Offers from the Premier League
The truth is that although many Premier League teams are on the lookout for what may happen with Rodrygo, they also seem to be attentive to possible moves and information that could lower the player’s transfer fee. One of the teams that seemed best placed was Arsenal, who had already made direct contact with the player’s entourage. Another team joining the bidding is Liverpool, one of the most active clubs in the transfer market so far, which could continue to break the bank to bring the player in. Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City are also watching for any movement. But for now, no offers are coming in and the player’s future remains up in the air.
Rodrygo wants to stay
Rodrygo wants to stay at Real Madrid. He is very happy in the Spanish capital and does not want to pack his bags. During his summer vacation, he has been posting images of himself working hard. He wants to convince Xabi Alonso, he wants to regain his place at Real Madrid, and he believes he is capable of doing so.
For now, the financial offers he has received from the Premier League do not seem to convince him, which could slow down his departure. But on the other hand, the player is well aware that we are entering the World Cup season, and if he wants to be with Brazil next summer, he will have to be important in the team where he plays. Therefore, if he decides to stay at Real Madrid, his participation in the World Cup could be in jeopardy.
A long future is expected with Rodrygo. At present, it is unclear what will happen to him in the season that is about to begin. Real Madrid would welcome his departure, as it would be a huge financial boost. But the player wants to stay with the team, is confident in his chances, and believes he can convince Xabi Alonso to make him an important player again. Meanwhile, the Premier League clubs are lying in wait, hoping to make a strategic move to sign the Brazilian player.
