Not June, not July, the player who could leave Madrid at the end of the transfer window

Rodrygo still isn't moving, but his future at Real Madrid remains uncertain. Despite the rumors, the Brazilian won't leave in June or July. Everything will depend on what happens at the Club World Cup.

With Vinicius as an undisputed starter and Mbappé as the new attacking reference, Rodrygo's place in the starting eleven isn't guaranteed. During Ancelotti's tenure, he was usually the first substitution. With another major star joining the attack, his prominence could decrease.

Several clubs have inquired about him. Arsenal, in particular, is keeping an eye on him. Mikel Arteta wants to strengthen his forward line and sees Rodrygo as a unique opportunity.

Even Gabriel Magalhães, his teammate on the national team, has tried to convince him. In addition, at Arsenal he would play as a left winger, the Brazilian's favorite position, which he can't occupy at Santiago Bernabéu.

However, Madrid's new coach, Xabi Alonso, has other plans. The Spanish manager considers Rodrygo a valuable piece for his system. In his first meetings with the board, he has made it clear that he wants to keep him in the squad.

Rodrygo has already completed the first week of training under Alonso's command. On social media, he shared images with a message of commitment that excited the fans. For now, he's staying.

Club World Cup, key

Real Madrid will face the Club World Cup this summer, where Rodrygo will have important minutes. His performance in that tournament could define his future.

If he manages to stand out and fit well into Alonso's plans, his continuity will be more solid. If not, his role is reduced, the door to a departure before the market closes could reopen.

For now, the club hasn't received formal offers. Movement is expected in August, especially if a major European club needs an experienced, quality winger.

Departure in August?

The option for Rodrygo to leave Madrid in the final days of the market is open. Everything will depend on his minutes, his level, and Alonso's tactical decisions.

The only sure thing is that the Brazilian won't move before then. August will be the key month. Neither June nor July will bring news, but the end of summer could change everything.
