Real Madrid and head coach Xabi Alonso have expressed openness to selling Brazilian forward Rodrygo this summer if a suitable offer is received. The club has agreed not to stand in the player's way should he decide to leave. Arsenal has reportedly held preliminary talks with Rodrygo's representatives. Despite this, Rodrygo has not secured a regular starting position, having played only 23 minutes during the Club World Cup and not featuring in the starting XI for five consecutive games. Discussions between Real Madrid and Rodrygo's camp are scheduled for the following week to determine his future, with the decision ultimately resting with the player. Rodrygo has a contract with Real Madrid until 2028 and is focused on regaining his place in the team. However, sources indicate that if Rodrygo departs, it will not be solely his decision, as Real Madrid has not set a final transfer price and appears to retain some control over the situation.
