Rodrygo Goes has made an important decision: not to accept being a substitute player at Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian coach has unsuccessfully tried to mix the top four in the Whites' attack: Vinícius Jr, Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo Goes himself. The season has shown that despite their enormous talent, these players are not compatible on the field, especially since they all tend to occupy the left wing.
Ancelotti has had to make difficult decisions: Bellingham , Vinícius Jr and Mbappé have undisputed status in the starting eleven, which leaves Rodrygo in an uncomfortable position. Carlo Ancelotti is opting to change the playing system, leaving behind the 4-3-3 and returning to last season's successful diamond. This means that one of the four forwards must give up his place, and everything points to Rodrygo being the one sacrificed.
The Premier League's interest in Rodrygo
Rodrygo Goes, aware of his value and eager to continue as a starter, has begun to explore other options. The Premier League has shown great interest in the Brazilian, and there are already at least two offers on the table. Big-name clubs are willing to secure his services, with the promise of giving him the prominence that at Real Madrid doesn't seem to be guaranteed.
Thanks to his performances in recent seasons and his great potential, both Manchester City and Liverpool are closely monitoring Rodrygo's situation. Both are aware that his position is not the easiest, and if circumstances in the team worsen, Rodrygo could be one of the candidates to leave the club.
A change in Real Madrid's scheme: it has consequences
Carlo Ancelotti's tactical change could mean Rodrygo Goes' departure from Santiago Bernabéu. Despite his speed and ability to create danger in attack, the lack of space due to the presence of Mbappé and Vinícius has relegated him to a secondary role. Carlo Ancelotti has decided that sacrifice in the starting eleven is necessary to maintain the team's offensive balance.
Rodrygo Goes' future seems to be closer to England than to continuing to fight for a place at Real Madrid. The Brazilian is not willing to accept being a substitute and wants to take advantage of his good form to continue growing in his career. The Premier League offers him the opportunity to be a key player, something that Ancelotti can't guarantee him in this new scheme.
