José Félix Díaz delivers a surprise: 'Rodrygo isn't the only one who could leave Real Madrid.'

In addition to the Brazilian, another Madridist has the exit door open

Rodrygo's situation at Real Madrid seems far from being solved in the coming days. Right now, they're focused on the Club World Cup and on continuing to advance through rounds as they have so far. However, after the tournament, many things could happen, especially depending on what lies ahead.

Rodrygo hasn't played in 2 matches, and against Salzburg he only came on during the second half. A poor record, which against Juventus confirmed that he's not a priority for Xabi since he didn't give him the opportunity. It could mean that for weeks we won't know if they'll finally look for a new club for him.

He wouldn't be the only one, since José Félix Díaz, in a conversation with Rubén Martín, has added another name. "Ceballos, there's no possibility of speculating about his future, he's told his agent that it's here or at Betis" he stated. These are the only two options the Utrera native is considering.

In both cases, everything will depend on the decision made throughout the summer along with Xabi Alonso. The Tolosa native has insisted that the Club World Cup is the end of last season. For now, they're not thinking about the next one, as they'll have the chance to do so later on.

Ceballos becomes a rumor again this summer

The possibility of Ceballos leaving Real Madrid is something that's come up several times in the past. Betis has always been his preferred destination, as they dream of his possible return. This summer they're going to have money to make his arrival possible since they're bringing in funds from sales.

But the truth is that everything will depend on the connection between Ceballos and Xabi Alonso himself. The Utrera native wants to know if he's going to count on him, if he'll have a significant role in his project. From there, he'll consider what to do, whether to go to Betis or stay with the white team.

We'll see if he gets minutes during the Club World Cup or if his limited role ends up opening the door for him. At Real Madrid, they're willing to let him leave, but with one condition. That an offer comes in that's convincing enough.
