Real Madrid star sends clear message amid ongoing exit chatter | OneFootball

Real Madrid’s new era under Xabi Alonso has officially begun, and one of the first players to report for training was Brazilian winger Rodrygo Goes.

Despite widespread speculation about a possible departure this summer, the 24-year-old has made his intentions crystal clear that he wants to stay at the club.

Rodrygo has been the subject of transfer rumours since the end of last season, with some reports suggesting he could be moved on to make space in a star-studded attack.

But according to the latest updates, the winger has already communicated his desire to remain at Real Madrid.

The arrival of Alonso as head coach appears to have been a turning point, as Rodrygo is reportedly pleased with the new manager’s methods and atmosphere in training.

“Happy” Rodrygo wants to reinvent himself

The Brazilian recently posted a set of images from training on his official X account, accompanied by a single-word caption: “Happy.”

While short, the message spoke volumes. Rodrygo is clearly content at the club and hopeful that the new project led by Alonso will give him a more prominent role in the team.

Although the transfer window will be active for a long time and anything can happen, the club and the player are now seemingly aligned.

Rodrygo has a long-term contract until 2028, with a staggering €1 billion release clause, which is a strong indicator that Real Madrid still value him highly.

At 24, he is entering a key phase in his career. With Alonso looking to reshape the squad with fresh ideas and tactical flexibility, Rodrygo might get a chance to flourish in a more defined role.

For now, his message is loud and clear that he is staying at Real Madrid, and he is excited about what’s ahead. However, one cannot predict what might happen.
