Real Madrid Confidencial Real Madrid's post on social media that shakes Madridists: Rodrygo, K.O.
Madrid unveiled its third kit yesterday, and the players chosen for it were Vinícius, Bellingham, and Mbappé
Real Madrid unveiled its third kit for the 2025/26 season this Friday. A sky blue jersey with the classic white adidas stripes that has received praise from the fans. However, what has sparked the most discussion hasn't been the design, but rather the absence of a very important player in recent years: Rodrygo Goes.
In the official image, the club once again chose its trio of stars: Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, and Jude Bellingham. Exactly the same as in the presentations of the first and second kits. There was no sign of the Brazilian.
A clear message about his future
The gesture hasn't gone unnoticed. Rodrygo has been at the center of rumors for months. Since the end of last season, Madrid has been working to find him a way out. Xabi Alonso already gave hints at the Club World Cup, giving him very few minutes in the competition.
Now, this new "oversight" on social media seems to be the definitive confirmation. They aren't counting on him for next season. The club prefers to focus its image on the figures they consider untouchable.
Rodrygo has been linked with several Premier League teams. However, none have taken the decisive step to sign him. For now, his future remains uncertain.
Vinícius, key piece for the club
Meanwhile, as Rodrygo's case becomes more complicated, the stance with Vinícius is very different. The player and the club haven't finalized his contract renewal yet, but Madrid still positions him as one of its main ambassadors.
His image appears in all marketing campaigns. He is an icon for the fans and a guarantee in jersey sales. Despite the contractual issues, Florentino Pérez considers him an essential piece of the project.
The photo of the third kit has sparked an intense debate on social media. Many Madridists see it as a verdict for Rodrygo and a confirmation that the club's desired trio will be Mbappé, Vinícius, and Bellingham.
The message seems clear: in the new Real Madrid, there's room for the most high-profile stars... and Rodrygo isn't on that list.
