Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo’s future has been uncertain, but manager Xabi Alonso has now provided insight into the player’s current state. This follows weeks of speculation linking the Brazilian with other clubs across Europe. Alonso’s comments offer an update ahead of a key match.
The 24-year-old frontman was central to transfer headlines across Europe recently. This came after several reports suggested Rodrygo might be seeking a new challenge away from Real Madrid this summer.
Premier League giants Arsenal and Chelsea were among the clubs rumoured to be potential destinations for the versatile winger. However, over the last couple of weeks, talk has reduced, with murmurs indicating Rodrygo is now leaning towards staying put at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso addressed these discussions this week. He provided his perspective during a press conference ahead of the team’s Club World Cup debut game against Al-Hilal on Wednesday.
Alonso spoke about Rodrygo’s mindset. He stated, “I know what happened. The end of the season wasn’t easy for him. He took some time to reset. We’ve talked since day one, and I see him eager to contribute on the field and enjoy himself.”
