Rodrygo has been linked to a move away from Real Madrid this summer, and his involvement in the team’s games this summer added spark to those rumors. The Brazilian winger has only started two matches under Xabi Alonso since he arrived in June.
Rodrygo played his first game of the season against Real Oviedo as a starter, and after being subbed off, his angry reaction led to more speculation about his future at Real Madrid.
After the game, Xabi Alonso spoke about counting on every player in the squad, including Rodrygo, despite the player being linked to join other clubs like Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool.
Rodrygo’s request to play as a left-winger instead of a right-winger also sparked rumors of his departure from the club, as Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappe seem as the main candidates for that position.
Rodrygo’s latest social media post suggests that the player will fight for his place in the starting lineup, and many Real Madrid fans feel relieved.
