Marca reported that Rodrygo informed Real Madrid’s management of his desire to continue with the club next season.
This news comes after a series of rumors circulating about Rodrygo’s unwillingness to play again for Real Madrid after being marginalized during Carlo Ancelotti’s final season.
However, the latest report indicates that the Brazilian international met with Real Madrid officials, during which he informed them that he wants to stay and has no intention of leaving Los Blancos this summer.
Surprisingly, Real Madrid’s management itself has serious doubts about the player’s future, and their primary plan is to sell him for a substantial sum.
However, the management will give Rodrygo one last chance to prove himself during the 2025 Club World Cup. If he regains his form and Xabi Alonso is convinced by his performance, he will be retained.
The puzzling question remains regarding Rodrygo’s position alongside Alonso. Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Junior are expected to play either on the left or in the middle, with Trent Alexander-Arnold expected to play on the right. Thus, the 23-year-old’s bench is expected to be empty unless a new signing is found.
It’s worth noting that Rodrygo has received numerous offers from England recently, with Arsenal being the latest to show interest. Negotiations between the London club and the player are reportedly ongoing.
