Defensa Central reports that Real Madrid’s patience with winger Rodrygo appears to be wearing thin, as the club is now open to offers around €50 million for the Brazilian international.
The 24-year-old has featured in only a limited role under Xabi Alonso this season. This month, TBR Football reported that Arsenal and Tottenham have been made aware that Rodrygo is once again weighing his future with Real Madrid.
Nonetheless, Real Madrid convinced the attacker to stay in Madrid during the summer transfer window, despite speculation about a possible move. But his doubts about playing time have turned out to be justified, with Xabi Alonso often turning to Franco Mastantuono and Arda Guler instead.
“Rodrygo’s situation has not improved this season,” TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, said. “As we reported in the summer, Xabi Alonso always planned on making Arda Guler one of his key figures, and that has played out as expected.
“With teen starlet Franco Mastantuono also getting regular game time, there is little sign of how Rodrygo can find a route back into the lineup. I am told that Rodrygo is again considering his options, and one possibility is a switch to the Premier League, which could become a real option in January. He is certainly one to watch as we approach the New Year.”
