Real Madrid has been one of the teams that has caused the most opinions in the current soccer scene because of their signings. Arrivals like Mastantuono's have made fans think about who should take a spot in the starting eleven. Rodrygo has sparked all kinds of opinions due to his possible departure, which in the end is not viable.
Florentino Pérez is one of the best presidents in the world, and the moves he makes in every transfer window are the perfect reflection of that. Real Madrid's president always looks out for the club's best interests, something others sometimes forget. Rodrygo has caused the Madrid side to receive an unbelievable offer, but they haven't accepted it.
Rodrygo and his situation at Real Madrid
Rodrygo has always shown a positive attitude and has adapted to what the club has asked of him. Even though he's a left winger and that's his favorite side, he followed Ancelotti's orders and adapted to playing on the right. Vinícius stayed as the undisputed owner of the left flank and has ended up being the main face of Real Madrid.
Xabi Alonso is not convinced by Rodrygo, and it has been evident since he arrived in the Spanish capital. The Brazilian has spent several matches on the bench, and there have been several games in which he hasn't played. The fans thought he was going to leave in this transfer window, but it has finally become clear that he won't.
Real Madrid always closes good deals, so it was expected that they would accept the €90 million ($97 million) offer that several media outlets following the Madrid side have already confirmed. According to reports, the amount put forward comes from Arabia, where there are very wealthy teams. Fortunately for Rodrygo's fans, Florentino has found it more appropriate to keep him in the squad for at least one more year.
Rodrygo and Xabi Alonso
Rodrygo let himself be courted by Manchester City some time ago, but Pep Guardiola didn't end up signing the forward. The Brazilian is still at Real Madrid and has one more season to show what he's made of.
Over the coming months, we'll see if Rodrygo ends up establishing himself in Xabi Alonso's squad. It's possible that he may finally leave in search of taking a step up in his career.
