Rodrygo Goes discussed his future with Xabi Alonso

Brazilian striker Rodrygo Goes, 24, recently spoke with Xabi Alonso about his future at Real Madrid. Absent from the pitch during the final month of the competition, his absence had fueled rumors of a possible departure.

Manchester City have already shown interest in the past, while Liverpool and Arsenal appear to have explored his situation in recent weeks.

However, it appears that Rodrygo has informed Real Madrid management of his desire to stay at the club. This decision was reportedly conditional on a discussion with Xabi Alonso, with the aim of better understanding the coach’s intentions towards him.

According to Cadena SER , this conversation did indeed take place. If previous reports are correct, this would indicate that Rodrygo was reassured by Alonso’s words. Despite this, Real Madrid reportedly still have some doubts about the player’s commitment and would like to hold further talks to clarify everyone’s positions.

In the event of a sale, the Madrid club would hope to obtain around 100 million euros, although they could be open to a slightly lower offer. To date, no official proposal has been submitted.

Interested clubs will likely want to know Rodrygo’s intentions for sure before making a move. The upcoming Club World Cup could be crucial in assessing the role Xabi Alonso intends to give him.
