Eduardo Inda reveals the team that's seriously going after Rodrygo, problems in the Premier League

Rodrygo's future is heating up, another interested team is preparing an offer

Rodrygo is experiencing a very complicated Club World Cup and one that's different from what was desired. The Brazilian was excited to see Xabi Alonso arrive, who didn't hesitate to speak with him at Valdebebas. He wanted to check his commitment to the project and give him support to bring out the best in him.

But things haven't turned out as they seemed at first and he's playing an irrelevant role. To such an extent that rumors about his future and possible departure have resurfaced. The Premier League is very interested and Arsenal was mentioned as the main offeror.

However, they should be careful because there's another team that's seriously pursuing him and it's not from the Premier League. Eduardo Inda has pointed out that "I've always said the one who's wanted him is Guardiola's City. But there's a team that's entered the scene and it could interest the player, Xabi Alonso is opening the exit door for him."

He didn't take long to name the club he's referring to: "It would be Bayern Munich, the interested team. Musiala's injury, which is quite serious, could open the door for him, he's going to miss five or six months (cinco o seis meses) and at Bayern he could fit in. Also, Leroy Sané has left," he concluded on the matter.

Rodrygo's departure keeps gaining traction in the market

Xabi Alonso chose Rodrygo as a starter in his first match against Al Hilal in the Club World Cup. However, he didn't finish it, and since then he hasn't started again. In fact, there are several matches in which he hasn't even played a minute.

His situation seems complicated and more and more teams are watching his future. In addition to Bayern Munich, which we've already discussed, the Premier League is very interested in him. Arsenal was pushing hard, but Manchester United is also in the race.

Everything will depend on what Rodrygo himself decides regarding his future. He'll have to accept that his role in the team won't be that of an undisputed starter with Xabi Alonso. If he does, he could stay, but if he asks to leave, they'll start looking for a new destination for him.
