Real Madrid Considers Selling Rodrygo Amidst Backup Role

Rodrygo's future at Real Madrid is increasingly uncertain due to a dip in form and the arrival of high-profile players like Kylian Mbappe, forcing him down the pecking order. The club now views him as a potentially sellable asset, especially with interest from Premier League clubs and his market value still high, though declining. Reports suggest that unless persuaded by the club's new manager, Rodrygo may consider leaving in the summer, though sources close to him deny he is actively pushing for a move. Some analysts argue Real Madrid does not need to seek a direct replacement if he departs, as their attacking depth is sufficient and funds could be reallocated to midfield or defense. Meanwhile, fans and pundits have discussed possible replacements, such as Rayan Cherki, but emphasize that squad depth and balance should be the club's priority. The coming transfer window is expected to bring significant changes as Madrid seeks to rebalance its squad.
