"I don't know; I'd like it, but who knows? For me, Rodrygo is a phenomenon; his name is mentioned a lot. If it were up to me, of course; I've already said he's a phenomenon," stated the international from Rio de Janeiro.

In recent weeks, the media have speculated about the possible departure of Rodrygo from Real Madrid to Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. According to what has been known in recent days, the "11" from Madrid is very happy with Xabi Alonso and isn't going to make an immediate decision regarding his future.

It's true that he's upset with the role he's had in recent seasons. He doesn't like being substituted regularly or playing on the right. Whether he leaves Real Madrid or not is something that'll be decided after the Club World Cup, in which he hopes to be an important player for the new Madrid coach.

Rodrygo's last few months at the Madrid club have been difficult. His performance on the field has left much to be desired. After being substituted at halftime in the Copa del Rey final, he hasn't worn the white jersey again.

There has been a lot of speculation about the injury the Madrid winger claimed to have in order not to play the last matches. Since it hasn't been clear what kind of injury it was, this led people to think he was taking himself out of the team.

However, Xabi Alonso's arrival has been a breath of fresh air for the player, who says he's happy on his social media. If his role isn't important in the Club World Cup, everything could change in a few days. The question won't be solved until the summer.
