‘No Room’ – Arsenal, PSG Transfer Target Told to Leave Real Madrid This Summer

With the rumors of a potential departure, ESPN’s Julien Laurens believes that the Brazilian needs to go this summer or risk staying on the bench during the 2025-26 season under new manager Xabi Alonso.

“I don’t know if he will go, but he has to go,” Laurens said on ESPN FC. “We saw him again [on Tuesday], staying on the bench, and the game before that, and the game before that as well.

“So he doesn’t even play anymore under Xabi Alonso for this team—a team that seems to be playing, or heading towards, a back three and a front two. There’s just no room for Rodrygo anywhere there.”

TBR Football recently reported that Arsenal are growing more confident about striking a deal for Rodrygo, who is expected to make it clear he wants to leave Real Madrid after the Club World Cup.
