Real Madrid: Xabi Alonso still unclear about Rodrygo's situation
The story between Rodrygo Goes and Real Madrid could well come to an end this summer. Sparingly used during the Club World Cup, the 24-year-old Brazilian forward seems increasingly distant from Xabi Alonso's plans.
Starting in the opening match against Al-Hilal, Rodrygo then made two substitute appearances before being left on the bench during the heavy 4-0 defeat to PSG in the semifinals. This situation has reignited rumors about his future. When asked about it, Xabi Alonso declined to give a definitive answer:
It was a decision based on the match. We needed a different profile against PSG. No decision has been made yet regarding his future.
According to Fabrizio Romano, discussions between the Madrid management and Rodrygo's camp are scheduled for next week. The club is reportedly open to a transfer, but the final decision will be up to the player.
In recent weeks, Arsenal, Liverpool, and PSG have been listed among the potential suitors for the Brazilian international. The question remains whether any of these heavyweights will be able to convince Rodrygo... and Real.
