Silent, yet significant: Xabi Alonso's implicit criticism of Rodrygo's departure from Real Madrid
Rodrygo's Future at Real Madrid in Doubt as Loan Offer Gains Traction
In a surprising turn of events, it appears that Rodrygo's future at Real Madrid might not be as certain as initially thought. The option of a loan instead of a sale is gaining ground, with several high-profile clubs expressing interest.
The latest development came after Zinedine Zidane announced his first Brazil list for the World Cup. While Casemiro and Vinicius Junior were called up, there was no place for Rodrygo or Neymar. This omission could potentially influence Rodrygo's decision, as the fear of not having minutes in a World Cup year might sway him towards a move.
Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid's director of institutional relations, has shed some light on the situation. He explained that the World Cup is a different context and that the club is open to discussions about Rodrygo's future. Alonso bet on Brahim as a starter and Franco Mastantuono and Gonzalo García for substitutions, leaving Rodrygo out of the starting lineup.
Rodrygo's entourage has repeatedly stated his intention to stay at Real Madrid, but the lack of playing time might make him reconsider. It seems that his intention to remain in the Spanish capital might not be enough to keep him at the club.
Tottenham Hotspur is preparing the first offer for a loan deal for Rodrygo, following the loss of Heung-min Son. Previously, Arsenal was interested in the Brazilian forward, but they have shifted their focus to other players. Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham are potential suitors for Rodrygo, adding to the speculation surrounding his future.
Rodrygo has not played for the team since the arrival of the new coach, which could be another factor influencing his decision. As the transfer market winds down, it remains to be seen whether Rodrygo will change his mind about staying at Real Madrid.
