Under Direct Orders from Xabi Alonso: Real Madrid Decides Rodrygo’s Fate Amid Arsenal Interest
There is growing uncertainty surrounding the future of Brazilian forward Rodrygo at Real Madrid, especially after his dip in performance under former manager Carlo Ancelotti. However, new coach Xabi Alonso has shown unexpected support for the player, expressing confidence in him during his first press conference—hinting at the possibility that Rodrygo may remain with the team.
Despite this, those close to Rodrygo are not ruling out a potential transfer, with clubs like Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen showing serious interest.
While Rodrygo could still end his journey with Real Madrid by the season’s end, the ultimate decision lies with him. A meeting between Rodrygo and Xabi Alonso is set to take place soon to discuss his future.
His future at the club may depend heavily on whether he participates in the 2025 Club World Cup. Meanwhile, several top clubs are closely monitoring the situation, hoping to sign him next season.
Real Madrid seems open to letting Rodrygo go and has reportedly set a price tag of €80 million, potentially rising to €100 million in transfer negotiations, according to Bernabeu Digital.
