Real Madrid is facing an uncertain future at Real Madrid. Despite talent and commitment, he faces the space in the shadow of the stars – and a farewell becomes more likely. Only one change of coach could still turn the paper.
This alternation after 45 minutes in the Copa-Del-Rey final is an example of a difficult time from Rodrygo at Real Madrid.
The royal documents in the final to FC Barcelona with 2: 3 after extra time – Rodrygo had to give way for Kylian Mbappé at halftime, which initially only sitting on the bench due to a slight ribbon stretch. The fact that the Brazilian was in the starting eleven was only due to this short -term protection. There is hardly any more symbolism.
Everything starts with Mbappé
Rodrygo has moved to the second member since Mbappé’s arrival in Madrid. And that despite an impressive career: in 2019 he came to real as a teenager from FC Santos, cost 45 million euros and was part of the team who won the Champions League and three times La Liga twice.
But today his place in the starring ensemble no longer seems to be secured. To date, he has already had 50 competitive game operations in which he was achieved by 13 goals and ten assists, but according to a report by the Spanish Marca, the Brazilian is seriously thinking about a farewell – although his contract is still running until 2028.
Does the change come with Alonso?
And Real Madrid himself would not be completely averse to letting him pull him. This is also due to the strategic planning for the coming season.
Because more and more indicates that Xabi Alonso could become the next coach of the royal. Nothing has been signed yet, but Spanish and German media see the current coach of Bayer Leverkusen as a clear favorite for the successor of Carlo Ancelotti
Alonso could bring changes – tactical and personnel. In Leverkusen, Alonso prefers to play in 4-4-2 or 3-4-3 formations that do not necessarily provide for Rodrygo a fixed role. If Alonso actually comes, a player from Leverkusen could also follow his coach: Florian Wirtz.
Iswirtz Rodrygo is displaced?
According to reports, it is real strongly interested in a commitment of the German international. Should Wirtz come in summer, there would be less space for Rodrygo. Because an offensive star would have to give way in a 4-4-2-and that would be him.
The dilemma around Rodrygo is by no means new. The question has been floating for a long time: where to go with him? His favorite position is on the left – but there is one of the best players in the world with Vinicius Junior and cannot be displaced. On the right side, Rodrygo has to work, work defensively, sacrifice themselves.
Bellingham raves
“He never complains, does everything,” team -mate Jude Bellingham recently said in an interview with CBS Sports . “For me, he is probably the most talented player in the team,” enthused the English international and explained: “Sometimes he does things when you think: how did he do that?” But despite praise, reality currently looks different.
Despite full of fitness, he only came up with the eight-time minutes of use of all real players this season. In the starting eleven he was 17 times less-seven times less than Federico Valverde. His last league was back months, and on January 19, he met Las Palmas. In the Champions League, he was last successful against Atlético on March 4.
Top -class interested parties
Rodrygo’s market value is still high, and according to the British Sun , two top clubs from the Premier League should be ready to strike: Manchester City and Arsenal FC have therefore been interested.
There is also a request from Saudi Arabia-specifically from the Al-Hilal master club-in January. So far, Rodrygo had always emphasized that he sees his future at Real. But now the sheet seems to turn.
Alonso as a Zünglein on the scale
Only one man could still change his mind: Alonso. If the BASKE actually becomes a new real coach, according to Marca , he could secure remaining with a veto for a sale of Rodrygo.
Rodrygo is a star in the shade. A quiet service provider who is exciting for the team rarely complains – and still runs the risk of falling by the wayside. In a team full of world stars, even a highly gifted can be overlooked.
