The BMV. Last summer, the Spanish press went wild for Real Madrid 's new magic trio of Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé, and Vinicius Jr. This didn't go down well with Rodrygo , who pointed out that an "R" was needed. The 24-year-old Brazilian responded on the pitch by showing how valuable he was to his team by racking up goals. But as the season progressed, the striker's situation evolved. Today, he is no longer indispensable in the eyes of Real Madrid, who opened the door to his departure this summer.
In Spain, some media outlets are reporting that Florentino Pérez and his team have realized that it would be difficult to accommodate all the team's stars and that a little more balance would be needed. For his part, Rodrygo is reportedly having a very hard time with his downgrade and being in the shadow of Bellingham and Mbappé, recruited during the last two transfer windows. The malaise is growing more than ever, to the point that he reportedly refused to play in last Sunday's El Clasico, which he lost to FC Barcelona.
To make matters worse, the Brazilian is out of tonight's La Liga clash with Mallorca , having left training yesterday. Amid all these rumors and reports, Carlo Ancelotti broke his silence yesterday regarding his player, who has scored 11 goals and provided 9 assists in 47 games across all competitions this season. "He had a fever last week, which prevented him from reaching his peak level. Today, he felt some discomfort in his leg that needs to be assessed, and subsequently, there has been a lot of speculation about it. There is a special affection for Rodrygo, especially for me."
Except that behind the scenes, the management of the Casa Blanca has made it clear that it will not retain a disgruntled or unhappy player. It has also already set his starting price at around €100 million. All of this has put several teams on alert. This Wednesday, AS revealed that Manchester City, who wanted to recruit the player last year after the departure of Julian Alvarez, are still interested. Arsenal are also interested, as are Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United, who are also following his case very closely. England is therefore already there for Rodrygo. No doubt other clubs will also be on the lookout, while the path leading to PSG has already been mentioned by some. The saga has only just begun!
