His extreme Real Madrid, Rodrygo (24 years old)is considering leaving the multiple champion of Spain in the summer at the latest.
Just a few days ago, Mundo Deportivo announced that five Real stars have one against coach Xabi Alonso. Vinicius, Courtois, Camavinga, Valverde and Bellingham do not like the former Spain international's working methods.
More recently, according to the Madrid daily AS, close to the club, they have been joined by Rodrygo. paccording to a source in the newspaper, the Brazilian is tired of being on the bench and intends to have a clarifying discussion with the club if his situation does not change. The reason: Considers himself “too young and too talented” to spend the season only as a backup.
Rodrygo lost the duel for the left flank with Vinicius jr
Some time ago, Rodrygo played a key role in Real Madrid's success in the Champions League (2 trophies) and La Liga (3 titles). Now, however, he regularly spends a large portion of matches on the bench.
In the summer he was also unhappy, he had the option of the Premier League (Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham), but in the end he refused the offers and remained fighting for tenure. But after a brief duel with Vinícius Júnior for the left wing, he seems to have been completely moved into the second line by Xabi Alonso.
Rodrygo's patience is at its lowest ebb
Franco Mastantuono, Alonso's preferred player on the right wing, is currently unavailable through injury. And his replacement, Brahim Díaz, has so far failed to impress, scoring just one goal in 13 appearances.
The door is theoretically open for Rodrygo, but it all depends on the coach. And his numbers look bad. The Brazilian hasn't scored since March and patiently reached the end.
