Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea Pursue Rodrygo Amid Real Madrid Role Uncertainty

Rodrygo Goes' future at Real Madrid is uncertain amid the arrival of new manager Xabi Alonso, who reportedly plans to prioritize Arda Güler and play with only two forwards, Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé, limiting Rodrygo's role. Despite a contract running until 2028, Rodrygo has seen his playing time diminish significantly, even refusing a move to Liverpool and expressing interest only in joining Manchester City, where Pep Guardiola has promised him a key role. Premier League clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea have shown strong interest in acquiring Rodrygo, with bids expected to increase as he seeks more consistent playing time and an important position. The Brazilian winger, who has contributed significantly to Real Madrid's success since joining in 2019, including multiple Champions League titles, is reportedly unhappy with his reduced role and is considering offers that provide a leading role in competitive projects. Real Madrid aims to transfer him to preserve his market value, with a price tag reportedly near 100 million euros, while Rodrygo remains open to staying if guaranteed a vital role by Alonso. Despite rumors of discontent, Rodrygo publicly dismissed speculation about his unhappiness, though doubts about his future at the club persist.
