Real Madrid Confidencial Xabi Alonso tells Rodrygo about his new role at Real Madrid, the ball is in his court
The coach from Donostia has spoken with the Brazilian footballer and has been very clear with him
Real Madrid keeps planning for the 2025-2026 season, although the club's sporting directors know they still have many unsolved issues.
Rodrygo Goes's situation at Real Madrid is quite peculiar. The Brazilian footballer for the club is on the market, and Xabi Alonso, his coach, has already informed him of the role he will have during the season. According to José Félix Díaz, a journalist from Diario MARCA, the "11" will find it difficult to get the playing time he truly wants.
He doesn't want to miss the World Cup
Right now, he is on vacation and reflecting on whether he should really stay next season at the club. 2026 is a World Cup year, so he will want to get minutes to receive the call from Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the canarinha. For this reason, it is a very important decision in his football career.
He is an striker who is in demand on the market, although it is true that the options are becoming more and more limited. One that seemed to have momentum was Arsenal, but the gunners have started to forget about him. At this moment, Liverpool is the club in the running to secure his services.
A deal that could unlock the "Rodrygo case" is that of Luis Díaz. If the Colombian heads to Bayern Munich, those at Anfield would see the Brazilian as the best possible option to replace him. This way, it is possible that he ends up with the red team.
Open to offers
As our colleagues from Defensa Central have been reporting, authorized voices from Valdebebas state that they are listening to offers for him. However, these would have to start at €80 million. It is worth highlighting that Florentino Pérez also doesn't mind having him in the squad.
As of today, July 22, he is a strong candidate to be the big sale of the summer for Madridists. In the executive offices at Chamartín, they continue to make it clear that until August 31, the day the market closes, many things can happen.
Meanwhile, the footballers are still enjoying their break before starting preseason, which will kick off on August 4. Real Madrid will have only two weeks to prepare for the first league match, which is against CA Osasuna.
