Rodrygo Goes has been the main protagonist of this transfer market at Real Madrid. The Brazilian has been linked to a multitude of teams and, with just a few days left before the official competition begins, his future is still open. In recent hours, he has been strongly linked to Manchester City, but so far there hasn't been any official move for his transfer.
The lack of a concrete offer and the high price set by Madrid, demanding 100 million euros, is making his departure difficult. Although both parties are open to a separation, there hasn't been a clear move so far. In recent hours, 'Onda Cero' has spoken clearly about this matter, revealing which team Rodrygo will play for next season.
Onda Cero makes it official
Journalist Alberto Pereiro, who is well connected to Real Madrid, has spoken. Speaking on 'Onda Cero' about this matter, he made it clear that "the normal thing is that Rodrygo won't leave." There are only a few weeks left before the current summer transfer window closes and there hasn't been a clear move for his exit. The only thing that could change is a surprise and strong activation from City, which has him on its radar.
However, right now the outlook seems clear. Rodrygo Goes looks set to continue at Real Madrid, with the intention of earning Xabi Alonso's trust.
New opportunity
Rodrygo Goes arrived at Real Madrid as one of the great promises of Brazilian soccer. Coming from Santos, his signing caused enormous excitement among the white fans, who hoped to see in him a future attacking leader alongside Vinícius Jr. However, as the seasons have gone by, the winger hasn't fully lived up to the expectations that had been placed on him.
Although he has shown flashes of his quality, especially in important Champions League matches, Rodrygo still hasn't taken that definitive step to become an undisputed starter. His inconsistency in play and in goal-scoring numbers have meant that, to this day, there are still doubts about his real role in the white project.
With the arrival of Xabi Alonso to the Real Madrid bench, the Brazilian faces a completely new situation. The Basque coach considers him a player with potential, but won't give him anything for free: Rodrygo is starting almost from scratch and will have to earn his place based on performance and commitment.
This new beginning could be the perfect opportunity for the striker to recover his best form. At 24, he still has time to show that he can be decisive and justify the major investment the club made for him. Bernabéu wants to get excited about Rodrygo again, and the player knows that the season that's starting could define his future at Real Madrid... or away from it.
