The combination of Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Junior has not clicked as expected, especially with Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo also occupying key attacking roles. If Real Madrid is forced to offload one of its forwards, Rodrygo appears to be the most likely candidate. Mbappé and Bellingham have recently joined the squad, while Vinicius is expected to renew his contract. According to le10sport, the club may consider selling Rodrygo whose contract runs until June 2028 to recoup funds and finance its summer transfer plans.
Rodrygo has been one of Carlo Ancelotti’s most frequently used players this season and has consistently been a key figure in the squad. His departure would mean the loss of one of the dressing room’s most influential players. While the possible arrival of Xabi Alonso as head coach could alter Rodrygo’s role in the team, nothing will be confirmed until the Spanish manager is officially appointed.

For now, Rodrygo and his camp insist he is happy at Real Madrid, and with a contract valid until June 30, 2028, there are no current signs pointing to an imminent departure. However, a significant financial offer could shift the situation and if not, he could eventually reunite with Ancelotti, who has already agreed to manage the Brazilian national team, at a time when Saudi Arabia is reshaping the football market.
As for Kylian Mbappé, there are no issues inside the Real Madrid camp. On the contrary, the Frenchman has integrated smoothly into the dressing room and enjoys good relationships with most of his teammates, even if natural differences in closeness exist.
Despite some tactical criticism, Mbappé has not shirked responsibility. It’s worth noting that he has scored 34 goals and provided five assists this season strong numbers, although some expected even more given the volume of chances he has had.
As of now, Real Madrid has not received any official offers for Rodrygo Goes, nor has the player or his representatives been approached by other clubs. The Brazilian remains fully focused on his role at the club, though he has admitted he hasn’t been at his best in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, French media have been quick to connect Rodrygo’s uncertain future to the club’s evolving attacking setup, especially in light of Mbappé’s headline-making decision to reject a contract renewal with Paris Saint-Germain in favor of joining Real Madrid a move that continues to stir debate across European football.
