As Real Madrid prepares for what is expected to be one of its most competitive seasons, a sensitive issue is emerging within the dressing room. One of the most prominent Brazilian players in the club’s squad faces an unprecedentedly uncertain future.
Despite the player’s efforts to demonstrate his commitment, behind-the-scenes reports indicate that the club’s management has already begun to move in a direction that may surprise Santiago Bernabéu fans, especially in light of the pressures of Financial Fair Play and the interest of Premier League clubs in high-caliber attacking signings.

The player in question is Brazilian winger Rodrygo Goes, whose future has been in serious doubt this summer after he lost a significant amount of his technical favor with new coach Xabi Alonso. Sources close to the club confirmed that there is serious consideration of selling him, especially if financial offers arrive that meet Florentino Pérez’s expectations.
According to reports, Alonso held a lengthy meeting with Rodrygo, lasting approximately 40 minutes, at the Valdebebas facility, where the two directly discussed the player’s future. Rodrygo told his coach that he doesn’t want to leave and is determined to fight to regain his starting spot despite the significant challenges.
Although Alonso hasn’t made any promises regarding playing time or a starting role, the player has embraced the challenge. He informed the coaching staff that he is ready to prove himself on the pitch again, as he has done before, even if the path is more complicated this time.
However, Real Madrid’s management is keeping the door open to offers, especially from the English Premier League, where clubs such as Arsenal and Tottenham have shown tangible interest in signing the player. They have begun testing the waters ahead of submitting a formal offer as the transfer window closes.
Real Madrid sees Rodrygo as an opportunity to bring in a significant sum of money that could be used to support new attacking signings or maintain financial balance in accordance with UEFA regulations. With only a few weeks remaining before the end of the transfer window, the issue remains open to all scenarios.
All indications suggest that a final decision has not yet been made, but the reality is clear: if the desire doesn’t translate into decisive performances in training, the new season could begin without Rodrygo wearing the Real Madrid shirt.
