ESPN announces Rodrygo's problem with two teammates, they're the reason he's leaving

One of the undisputed protagonists of the current season is Rodrygo Goes. Not precisely because of the positive sensations and performance he may have left, but rather the opposite. The position of the "11" verdeamarelo in Santiago Bernabéu locker room is really debated in recent weeks, given the significant sale rumors circulating.

The soap opera anticipated around the figure of the Osasco striker is one of the most striking that Real Madrid has ahead for the next market. In these discussions, the tactical decisions made by the Reggiolo coach in recent years would influence, especially regarding his position on the field.

From ESPN they point out that the inability to play on the left wing would be seriously marking Rodrygo Goes's options to continue in Santiago Bernabéu locker room. The Brazilian footballer wouldn't want to play out of position anymore, because he believes that he can offer his best performance starting from the left side of Real Madrid's attack.

But that request can't be fulfilled so easily, given the intense competition the South American striker faces in that position. Two of his teammates are first and the order of priorities for the current coaching staff has been reaffirmed on more than one occasion: Vinícius and Mbappé are the chosen ones.

Doesn't he have a place?

ESPN points out that Rodrygo doesn't want to keep playing out of position at Real Madrid, since he wishes to continue wearing the white jersey. But the "problems" he would have with Vinícius and Kylian Mbappé, with whom he shares a position, would be a negative point too big to ignore regarding his future. Especially when he would have requested to appear in more matches from that area.

The footballer believes he can offer his best performance on the left wing, but he has barely had opportunities to prove it this season. The presence of Vinícius and Kylian Mbappé, who are configured as the two great forwards of the white team for the near future, diminishes the chances of Rodrygo staying.

This way, many have come to the conclusion that Rodrygo Goes might not have a place in the future Real Madrid. It remains to be seen what results the hypothetical conversations between the "11" carioca and Xabi Alonso, new Madrid coach, will produce regarding his fit in the new tactical formations. Everything will depend on the will of the Tolosa coach.

Otherwise, the fact of playing out of position even with Xabi Alonso would be another reason for Rodrygo Goes to end his stage as a Real Madrid player. The "Rodrygo case" acquires greater depth and relevance when there are barely two weeks left for the start of the 2025 summer transfer market.
