Rodrygo gets a surprising 'call', Real Madrid didn't see it coming

Rodrygo could change his fate at Real Madrid and now, more than ever, it is in someone else's hands

One of the roles that generates the most uncertainty regarding its future is Rodrygo's. The Brazilian footballer seems to be increasingly out of the merengue club due to the rumors that are emerging, especially with some details.  Franco Mastantuono's arrival at the white team meant a fairly certain departure for the Brazilian.

However, the Argentine's latest words leave the door open to the possibility that he could stay with the merengue squad.  "I can't wait to be at Real Madrid and play with Mbappé, Rodrygo, and Vinícius."

According to what Defensa Central has learned, this possibility is more open than ever within the team. Moreover, considering that they might not get in each other's way due to both players' profiles, maybe we could see him for one more season.

Mastantuono wants him on the team

This footballer was a key piece at Real Madrid just a couple of years ago, where he was even decisive in the Champions League. However, it seems that his attitude has catapulted him out of the merengue institution, as well as his way of doing things.

However, these words from the Argentine are a clear stance that not even the most die-hard Madridists expected. Now, seeing these two players sharing the field next season could become a real possibility.

The Brazilian failed to achieve more than 24 goal contributions in over 51 matches last season. These numbers, while they may not seem alarming, are in fact concerning for a footballer who is supposed to be a goal creator. However, this stance from the 17-year-old footballer could change his future.

In the hands of the directors

Right now, this option is only in the hands of those in charge of the team, mainly the coach and Florentino Pérez. While the possibility exists for both footballers to play on the same team, the Brazilian's fate could change radically. Otherwise, his departure is practically imminent due to the rumors and also the feelings within the club.
