José Félix Díaz ends the 'Rodrygo case' in a single sentence, confirmed: 'Nobody...'

The unexpected revelation about Rodrygo Goes's future that José Félix Díaz has provided

Doubts about Rodrygo Goes's future as a Real Madrid footballer have persisted throughout the summer. The Brazilian, despite not receiving any offers, has been on the radar of several clubs, especially in the Premier League. However, according to information from José Félix Díaz: "Nobody wants to leave Real Madrid".

"No footballer...has shown a desire to leave or listen to offers since the team's participation in the World Cup ended..." With these words, José Félix Díaz has hinted at the possible stay of Rodrygo. Despite his poor performance last season, the Brazilian winger is working hard to become important again.

This is a goal that could be difficult to achieve given the trust Xabi has in him. According to what we know at Defensa Central, Xabi Alonso doesn't count on Rodrygo for the next campaign. This is a situation that must be solved given the player's clear desire to remain a Madridist.

Rodrygo's ruled-out departure

Since his arrival at the club in 2019, Rodrygo Goes has worked hard to become relevant at Real Madrid. This is a goal he managed to achieve in some seasons when he was responsible for several victories. With 270 matches played as a Real Madrid footballer, Rodrygo has achieved a total of 68 goals and 51 assists.

Very impressive numbers that don't save his performance from last season. Rodrygo scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists after playing more than 50 matches. Even surpassed by academy product Gonzalo García, Rodrygo's decision to stay has been surprising.

However, Rodrygo's desire, along with that of the rest of his teammates, could be a problem. Given the signings made this summer, the club needs to finalize some departures. While Rodrygo wants to stay at Real Madrid, this is the club's decision.

The unsolved question

There's still a long time left before the end of this summer transfer window. However, Real Madrid is aware that it must start working on the departures of several footballers. Despite José Félix Díaz's revelation, Real Madrid isn't closed to a sale of Rodrygo.
