Xabi Alonso changes his stance on Rodrygo, his message to the president about the Brazilian

Xabi Alonso has a clear idea for this season with Rodrygo Goes

Real Madrid will return to work at Valdebebas this Monday, where it will begin a brief preseason to face its league debut against Osasuna at Santiago Bernabéu.

One of those drafted to start training is Rodrygo Goes, who remains in the eye of the storm.

The Brazilian is still at the center of the debate, since his continuity for the new season isn't guaranteed.

The Premier League still doesn't bet on Rodrygo

The problem for Rodrygo Goes is that none of the interested Premier League clubs have taken the final step to sign him.

Liverpool, which has always been in the race to bring him in, is focused first on finalizing the arrival of Alexander Isak.

This makes many doubt his departure, something that Carlos Carpio discussed on Rubén Martín's Twitch channel.

"It wouldn't be any problem if Rodrygo stayed. I think he'll play more than in the Club World Cup if he doesn't leave," said the deputy director of MARCA.

Xabi Alonso already made it clear after the Club World Cup

These words from the journalist reflect what Xabi Alonso himself said at the end of the Club World Cup.

"These are match decisions. The way the game was going, we needed a different profile. There haven't been any decisions about the future. We haven't rotated much in this Club World Cup, and the context will be different in the future," said the man from Tolosa after PSG's defeat.

The Basque coach knows that the season will be very long and that he'll count on everyone, since they're obliged to recover the competitiveness they've lost and to fight for all the titles at stake.

For now, the Paulista is aware that he'll start as a substitute, especially because the man from Tolosa will play with two forwards, but he also needs to raise his level and make things difficult for Xabi Alonso.

Real Madrid's coach expects the "11" in white to recover his best form, since with his quality and speed he can be very important, something he'll make clear to him in the coming days.

Xabi wants to have a face-to-face with Rodrygo in which he'll explain his plans and what he wants from him for the season.
