Real Madrid Confidencial Rodrygo halts his departure from Real Madrid, sets a key condition for his transfer
The Brazilian wants to stay and succeed at Real Madrid. His desire is to talk to Xabi Alonso and make a well-thought-out decision
Rodrygo Goes doesn't want to leave Real Madrid this summer. The 24-year-old Brazilian is clear that his priority is to keep wearing white, although he has set an essential condition to continue.
The forward hopes to meet soon with Xabi Alonso, the club's new coach, to learn firsthand what his role will be in the new project of the Basque coach.
Rodrygo wants to stay, but needs clarity
The striker believes he can still be key at Real Madrid. He feels capable of regaining his best form and earning an important place in Xabi Alonso's scheme.
Rodrygo wants to hear what the coach has planned for him. Only if Xabi tells him that he is not in his plans or will lose prominence, he will consider leaving.
For now, he has no intention of leaving. But if he finds himself relegated to the bench, he would open the door to a change of scenery.
Premier tempts, but he hasn't decided yet
The Brazilian's situation has sparked the interest of several big clubs in England. Arsenal and Manchester City are very alert.
Mikel Arteta has him as a priority target. Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, also sees him as a perfect piece for his system.
Both coaches have contacted the player's entourage directly. They wanted to make it clear to him that he would have a leading role in their teams.
Rodrygo, however, keeps calm. He has a contract until 2028 and doesn't want to make hasty decisions. He will wait to see how his relationship with Xabi Alonso starts.
His desire is to succeed at Madrid
Despite external pressure, Rodrygo remains excited about Real Madrid. He doesn't forget that he arrived in 2019 at just 18 years old and has already surpassed 260 matches in the white jersey.
He has scored 68 goals and provided 50 assists since then. Now he wants to regain his best form for the Club World Cup, the big goal of the summer.
Although his recent performance has been modest, Rodrygo believes he hasn't said his last word at Bernabéu yet.
Everything depends on a conversation. If Xabi Alonso trusts him, he will stay. If not, the market awaits him.
