The future of Rodrygo Goes has become one of the most talked-about topics around Real Madrid. In recent hours, the club has kept in touch with the player's camp to clarify what his real situation is. Florentino Pérez has already received the necessary information about the Brazilian forward's intentions.
What has become clear is that Rodrygo doesn't want to leave. The striker insists that his desire is to keep wearing the white jersey, although he demands a bigger role under Xabi Alonso's orders. Even so, the board keeps a firm stance on how they'll manage any movement.
Rodrygo and his stance on the market
The player's message has been clear: he has no intention of leaving Real Madrid. He only considers an exit if he himself expressly requests it, something that's not in his plans for now. For the board, that public statement is a relief amid a whirlwind of rumors.
Rodrygo is looking to establish himself as a key piece in Xabi Alonso's project. His versatility in attack allows him to play in different positions, but he demands a more defined role. The Brazilian trusts that the coach's confidence can give him continuity in a starting eleven with the highest demands.
A future shaped by Vinícius Junior
Rodrygo's situation can't be understood without glancing at Vinícius Junior's. The club hasn't finalized his contract renewal yet, and the winger's high demands create an uncertain scenario. If an agreement isn't reached, Florentino Pérez would be forced to plan a sale in 2026 to prevent him from leaving for free in 2027.
That move would completely change Rodrygo's role in the squad. If Vinícius leaves, he would become the main reference in the left-wing attack. For the forward, it would be a historic opportunity to establish himself as the offensive leader at Real Madrid.
Florentino Pérez's vision and trust in Alonso
Florentino Pérez knows that keeping the young talents stable is key for the club's future. That's why he won't facilitate any Rodrygo exit unless the player requests it. The president considers him a strategic asset, both in sporting and market terms.
Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso is working to bring balance to the squad. The coach trusts that Rodrygo can grow in importance as the season progresses. His continuity will depend both on his performance and on the moves that happen around Vinícius.
