Real Madrid Confidencial Rodrygo blocks City, Guardiola is left wanting more
Everything indicates that Rodrygo Goes will stay one more year playing for Real Madrid
The famous "Rodrygo case" seems to have come to an end. According to information obtained by "Defensa Central", the Brazilian forward will continue wearing Real Madrid's jersey in the 2025/26 season. The young striker, who was the subject of speculation during the transfer market, has decided to stay at Santiago Bernabéu under Xabi Alonso's orders.
Furthermore, the choice made by Rodrygo Goes and Real Madrid puts an end to the rumors linking him with clubs like Guardiola's City. The Catalan coach has always expressed his desire for the Madridist forward, but this season it won't be possible either.
Guardiola misses out on Rodrygo again
Rodrygo Goes has been one of the most outstanding names in Real Madrid's latest season. The arrival of new stars and the competition in the attack created uncertainty about his role. During the summer, the media speculated about a possible departure, especially to the Premier League, where City saw him as an ideal reinforcement.
However, after conversations with Xabi Alonso, Rodrygo has chosen to remain at the club where he grew up. The coach from Tolosa, who placed him on the left wing against Real Oviedo, has made it clear to him that he will have his moments in the spotlight if he keeps working like this.
Xabi Alonso, known for his tactical approach and his commitment to young talent, has made it clear that he counts on Rodrygo as an offensive pillar. In fact, the footballer started again in the last league match and left a good impression. This trust has been decisive for the Carioca to reject all offers and bet on consolidating himself at Real Madrid, with the Champions League and LaLiga as major goals.
Manchester City couldn't land Rodrygo
Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola, an admirer of Rodrygo's talent, would have accepted the player's decision and will focus his efforts on other market targets. At Santiago Bernabéu, Rodrygo's continuity has been received enthusiastically by some fans who were already thinking about his departure.
Manchester City tried to secure the arrival of the Brazilian, but for that they needed to arrange Savinho's departure, who still hasn't left the Etihad. Moreover, Savinho's salary and Rodrygo's salary are not even similar, so the English club would also have had some problems with "fair play".
