Rodrygo’s future at Real Madrid looks uncertain as Premier League giants Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City prepare for last-minute bids ahead of the transfer deadline.
Real Madrid are preparing to receive potential last-minute offers for Brazilian forward Rodrygo, with Premier League trio Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City all reportedly interested in securing the 24-year-old’s services before the transfer window closes on September 1.
Rodrygo’s Reduced Role at Real Madrid
The talented forward, who arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu from Santos for €45 million in 2019, has found his playing time reduced under new manager Xabi Alonso. Rodrygo, who was once a first-team regular under Carlo Ancelotti, has seen his role diminished, featuring only as a substitute in recent matches, including the La Liga opener against Osasuna, where he didn’t even make it off the bench. This has led to growing speculation about his future at the club.
Premier League Interest Heats Up
As Rodrygo’s situation at Real Madrid becomes more uncertain, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City have reportedly set their sights on him. Although Real Madrid are not actively looking to offload the Brazilian winger, the club is bracing for late bids from these Premier League heavyweights, according to reports from Marca. The upcoming transfer deadline could bring a flurry of activity, with these top English clubs weighing up the prospect of making a move.
Rodrygo’s Impressive Record at Real Madrid
Since his move to Madrid, Rodrygo has made 270 appearances, scoring 68 goals and assisting 23 in all competitions. His contributions have helped Real win three La Liga titles and two Champions League crowns, establishing himself as a key player for the club under Ancelotti. However, his lack of minutes this season has raised questions about his long-term role at the club.
What’s Next for Rodrygo and Real Madrid?
It remains to be seen whether Rodrygo will feature in Real Madrid’s next La Liga outing, as they travel to newly-promoted Real Oviedo on Sunday. The match presents an opportunity for Alonso to further assess his squad, and whether Rodrygo is part of those plans could influence any decision regarding his future.
