Real Madrid is going through a delicate moment with one of its most promising players, Rodrygo Goes. The Brazilian, who joined the club with the hope of being a key piece, has decided not to play again and has requested a transfer. The trigger for this situation is, according to sources, his dissatisfaction with his role on the team and the intense competition for a starting position.
Rodrygo and his disillusionment with Madrid
Rodrygo started the season with high expectations, but he quickly realized that the competition at Real Madrid was fierce. The presence of players like Vinícius, Kylian Mbappé, and Jude Bellingham in the offensive trio relegated Rodrygo to the background. Instead of being one of the protagonists, the Brazilian became a secondary player, which led to his frustration.

From the beginning, Rodrygo did not hide his dissatisfaction. On social media, he made clear his desire to be more valued. Despite interventions from Carlo Ancelotti, who always had a close relationship with him, the situation did not improve.
In an incident during a match against Villarreal, Rodrygo even refused to greet the coach after being substituted, which caused a strong confrontation between the two.
The straw that broke the camel's back
The last episode that sealed Rodrygo's decision was his absence in the clásico against Barcelona in Montjuïc. Although Ancelotti spoke of a fever, it was leaked that the real reason was the player's refusal to continue with the team.
The Brazilian was no longer willing to stay at the club if he was not guaranteed minutes and prominence.
Rodrygo has decided not to wear the Madrid jersey again, something that has caused great concern in the club's upper echelons. His attitude, far from improving, has worsened, and the relationship with Ancelotti seems to be definitively broken.
The interested parties: Guardiola leads the race
With Rodrygo requesting his departure, several European clubs have shown interest in signing him. Among the most notable are Manchester City and Liverpool, which have been the first to make clear their desire to incorporate the forward.
However, the main culprit of the situation seems to be Pep Guardiola. The City coach has publicly acknowledged his admiration for the Brazilian and believes he could have a prominent role on his team.
The possible arrival of Rodrygo at City has caused great excitement. The player would see in Guardiola's team an opportunity to regain his prominence and compete at the highest level. Additionally, Manchester City's project could offer him the minutes he so desires, something that Real Madrid has not been able to guarantee him.
