Rodrygo sets his terms: The Brazilian demands clarity for his Real Madrid stay
Xabi Alonso’s arrival as head coach has brought tactical changes that have so far pushed Rodrygo into a secondary role. He has played just 92 minutes across three Club World Cup games and doesn’t appear to be a top option in the new rotation.
Adding to the challenge, youngsters like Arda Güler, Gonzalo García, and the highly anticipated Endrick are earning more minutes, making things even more difficult for the number 11.

Still, Rodrygo hasn’t pushed for a transfer, but the rumors are gaining momentum. With European powerhouses like Arsenal, PSG, and even Manchester City circling, his patience may soon run out.
Arsenal and PSG circling: Could this be Rodrygo final season at the Bernabéu?
While Real Madrid is looking to reshape its squad for the future, several top clubs are keeping a close eye on Rodrygo situation.
Arsenal are reportedly ready to offer up to €90 million for the forward after missing out on Nico Williams. PSG, meanwhile, views Rodrygo as a perfect piece in its post-Mbappé era.
Even Al-Nassr has presented a massive financial offer, but the Brazilian reportedly prefers the Premier League should he leave Spain.
For now, the ball is in Xabi Alonso’s court. If Rodrygo doesn’t regain minutes and confidence soon, his departure could come sooner than expected.
Will Real Madrid let him go, or give in to his demands? The summer transfer window may hold the answer.
